Clarios – the company behind well-known brands like Varta, Optima, and Heliar – is a top battery manufacturer in the automotive industry. Today, one in three new vehicles is fitted with a Clarios battery. The company was created through the divestment and renaming of the Johnson Controls Power Solutions division, and it now employs 16,000 people in over 140 countries worldwide, including Slovakia, where it has a large financial shared service centre. Business service centres hold great potential for process automation through software robots (RPA), which Clarios and Soitron are now introducing at several worksites globally.
