About Us
Firefly revolutionary battery technology was originally
developed at the Research and Development laboratory of
CATERPILLAR, Inc., a world-renowned manufacturer of heavy
equipment, with significant internal investments and
funding from major financial institutions.
When CATERPILLAR made a decision to shed its non-core
equipment businesses in 2010, Firefly International Energy
Co. acquired the technology along with all the existing
patents, manufacturing equipment and key personnel.
With new investments, the company is now internally
manufacturing the patented Microcell Carbon Foam, the key
ingredient in the new revolutionary battery, at a fraction
of the cost, The company has also set up a large scale,
world class manufacturing facility in India under a
licensing arrangement.
