UgoWork at ProMat 2025: What we showed, what we learned, and what comes next

At ProMat 2025, UgoWork didn’t just showcase lithium-ion batteries; we demonstrated how true partnership in the electrification journey leads to measurable, long-term value. From packed seminars to live demos, we engaged with industry leaders, offering practical insights into how UgoWork is setting the bar for performance, reliability, and customer-centric solutions.

This year’s participation wasn’t about flashy gimmicks — it was about giving our audience real answers on how UgoWork can help their businesses. Whether you’re considering making the transition to lithium-ion or you’re already onboard but looking to maximize your fleet’s efficiency, this article will walk you through the key moments at our booth and seminar, and offer you a closer look at why UgoWork is more than just a battery.

UgoWork’s seminar: Driving meaningful insights for a changing industry

Our seminar on Monday, “Lithium-Ion Battery Showdown: Features, Safety, and Value for Your Money”, was one of the highlights of the week. The room was packed with an eager audience looking to get past the buzzwords and dive into the real-world differences between various battery solutions.

But it didn’t stop there.

Key takeaways from the seminar

  • Understanding variability: Not all lithium-ion batteries are created equal. We explored the key differentiators that matter most: safety, robustness, and advanced features like cloud connectivity and AI-driven fleet management insights.
  • Aligning with application needs is critical: We helped attendees understand how to match the right battery technology with the specific needs of their operations to ensure optimal performance.
  • Long-term value beyond the price tag: We dug deep into what really matters — service quality, reputation, and the total value your battery provider offers. A cheap battery may look appealing, but poor service and hidden costs can quickly add up.

Panel: Path to electrification: From talk to action

UgoWork wasn’t just talking the talk — we were actively engaged in the Path to Electrification discussion, alongside industry leaders like Damon Hosmer, Principal Advisor at Toyota Material Handling and Michael Galyen, Vice-President at Concentric. This insightful panel, moderated by Chris Watson from ICF International, focused on actionable steps businesses can take to electrify their operations and improve their bottom line.

UgoWork’s contribution to this panel was clear: we are building a future where electrification is seamless, and our complete solutions go beyond just providing high-performance batteries. We ensure long-term reliability with training, ongoing support, and proactive diagnostics, making the transition as smooth as possible.

Top takeaways from the session

  • Electrification is a strategic imperative, not just a trend.
  • Data-driven decisions are key to maximizing energy savings and performance.
  • Real-world case studies from industry leaders helped clarify the roadmap for operators looking to make the transition.

Industry recognition: Lift trucks powered by UgoWork

Perhaps the most eye-catching part of our booth were the lift trucks on display, powered by UgoWork batteries.

Industry trends we’re watching

Walking the show floor and talking with peers, a few trends became incredibly clear:

  • Electrification is speeding up — but the knowledge gap still remains.
  • Energy as a Service (EaaS) is rapidly gaining traction as companies move from capital expenditure to operational expenditure models.
  • Data visibility is now a key requirement — fleet managers demand real-time energy insights to make data-driven decisions.
  • Sustainability continues to dominate conversations — but now, it’s about actionable steps and ROI.
