CTEK AB is a Swedish company that makes battery chargers and battery management devices. Its products are used to charge and maintain batteries in cars, motorcycles, boats, and other vehicles. CTEK sells to both everyday consumers and professional customers like car dealerships, workshops, and automotive manufacturers, including several major car brands that bundle CTEK chargers with their vehicles.

The company earns revenue by selling hardware — physical chargers and related accessories — through retailers, automotive partners, and its own channels. CTEK operates globally, with strong roots in Europe and growing sales in North America and Asia, generating roughly $150–200 million in annual revenue. Its main competitive advantage is its reputation for quality and its deep relationships with automakers who recommend or include its products. The key growth driver is the shift toward electric vehicles, which require more sophisticated battery charging solutions, though rising competition from lower-cost manufacturers remains a meaningful risk.
