AZA Battery’s Board of Directors announces the appointment of Vincent Dujardin as Chief Executive Officer effective December 2025. Dujardin’s tenure marks an exciting new chapter for the company and for the broader zinc-based energy storage sector. With deep industrial leadership experience and a strong track record in zinc materials, Dujardin brings exactly the expertise needed to help scale innovative battery technologies from promising concepts into global commercial solutions. AZA Battery has built its reputation around rechargeable zinc-air batteries designed to be safer, lower-cost, and more sustainable alternatives to conventional lithium-ion systems. The company’s technology is particularly compelling for stationary storage applications such as backup power, telecom resilience, microgrids, and renewable energy integration. Dujardin’s background is especially relevant because the future of battery manufacturing will depend not only on chemistry breakthroughs, but also on supply chains, industrial execution, building teams, and market credibility. His leadership will help AZA Battery accelerate partnerships, expand manufacturing readiness, and deepen investor confidence at a time when demand for non-lithium storage solutions is rising rapidly. As grids modernize and the world searches for abundant, recyclable, and geopolitically resilient battery materials, zinc is attracting renewed attention. AZA Battery is well positioned to turn that opportunity into real market momentum.
