This partnership underlines the company\u2019s high ambitions and passion for portable lighting solutions.<\/p>\n<p>With Zweibr\u00fcder and Duracell, the company offers a clearly segmented range: Zweibr\u00fcder covers the premium segment, while Duracell provides an entry point into rechargeable torches and headlamps.<\/p>\n<p>Zweibr\u00fcder consistently focuses on specialist retail, both offline and online.
