History & Development
Freeplay Energy was founded in 1994, following the invention by Trevor Baylis of the 'clockwork radio', which was designed to help halt the spread of AIDS in Africa by providing much-needed access to health information and advice.
The company is now part of the privately owned Euro Suisse Group which has extensive interests in the developing world, where Freeplay products help to change people's lives.
Today they specialize in the design, development and manufacture of clean energy products for people living either temporarily or permanently off-grid. They do this by using their core expertise in solar, dynamo, and energy storage technology to create products that are affordable and reliable.
Their products are created for three principle applications all of which share many common requirements:
- Emergency Preparedness
- Aid and Development
- Outdoor Leisure
Freeplay operates in both the developed and the developing world. They partner with many of the world's leading NGO's and internationally respected retailers, and we have extensive experience of shipping products to some of the world's most difficult regions.
