Peace of mind for people on the go

Since 2013, we’ve empowered people across Europe to go with the flow by offering a convenient, circular solution to a common inconvenience.

Our Story

Team

What we are about

Every great idea starts somewhere. Ours? A cramped two-room apartment, where our founders turned a bedroom into a production space and convinced companies like Google to order solar-charged AA batteries.

Today, that same spirit has made us Europe’s largest powerbank rental service.

The product has changed, but our mission hasn’t: delivering a sustainable, convenient service that keeps people powered and happy.

We care about people and the environment

Chimpy on SRF: Why we are proud to be made in Zürich

Chimpy has been around in Zurich for 12 years – and from day one, we’ve built our creation, development, and production right in the middle of the city. For almost 8 years now, our home has been Baslerstrasse in Altstetten.
