Kaco: Revolutionizing Energy Accessibility with Innovative Battery Solutions

Mohamed Ali Salmi: The Visionary Behind Kaco

Mohamed Ali Salmi, co-founder and CEO of Kaco, has been driving the company's vision, values, and objectives since its inception in 2020. Under his leadership, Kaco has made a name for itself in the energy sector with its ambitious goal of making energy accessible and sustainable through a range of battery-related products.

A Passion for Ecology and Entrepreneurship

Kaco's roots can be traced back to its founders' passion for ecology and entrepreneurship, which was nurtured during their university days. Before launching Kaco, Mohamed Ali Salmi co-founded Looh, a startup operating in Tunisia and Algeria, dedicated to combating deforestation by promising to plant 1,000 trees for every product sold. The revenue generated by Looh was reinvested in researching and developing new battery technologies, with a focus on renewable energy.

Innovative Lithium Battery Technology

Kaco stands out with its lithium battery technology, offering a 10-year lifespan at a price of 1,500 DT, three times cheaper than lead-acid batteries, with a 5-year warranty.

Future Plans and Partnerships

Looking ahead, Kaco plans to expand its product range by developing new forms of mobility, such as hybrid vehicles between motorcycles and cars, to reach a broader audience. In partnership with UGFS, Kaco is also focusing on rapid charging technologies.

Business Performance and Expansion

Kaco has achieved a turnover of over 1 billion dinars, generated from battery and accessory sales. The company also offers training programs and is working to strengthen ties between Tunisia and Algeria, with battery production in Tunisia and motorcycle assembly in Algeria to serve the African market. To date, nearly 400 pre-orders have been recorded.

Connected Application and Ecological Approach

Kaco is developing a connected application to manage its batteries, promoting an ecological and environmentally friendly approach. The company's primary objective remains to support innovation, offering high-performance and sustainable solutions in the energy sector.
