Steasy® – the self‑heating lunchbox now benefits from Jauch Power from Villingen‑Schwenningen.

/ / Battery Technology, Customer Success Stories

Flexible, healthy, and warm meals without a microwave — that’s exactly what Steasy®, developed by the Swiss company Nexenic, was designed for. This mobile mini steam cooker, or portable food steamer, lives up to its name: Steasy® combines ‘steam’ and ‘easy,’ perfectly capturing its core principle. Meals are gently heated using steam rather than electromagnetic field interactions, as in a microwave. The difference is significant — steaming helps preserve flavor, texture, and vitamins far better than microwave heating.

Steasy® gently and evenly heats pre-cooked meals using steam — without a microwave and, thanks to its Battery-powered design, without needing an outlet. A small amount of water inside the device is heated to generate steam, which warms the food in the inner tray in about 15 minutes without drying it out. This gentle steaming process helps preserve flavor, texture, and valuable nutrients.

With its high-quality materials, smart app control, and fully mobile design, Steasy® is the ideal companion for the office, university, construction sites, or on the go — delivering warm meals in excellent quality whenever and wherever you want to enjoy them.

In the first product version, Nexenic used standard 18650 and later 21700 lithium ion cells. Today, the Swiss start-up relies entirely on Jauch’s own 21700 lithium ion cells. Depending on the configuration, Jauch’s lithium ion cells offer either high continuous discharge currents of up to 45 A or highly energy‑optimized variants with up to 5,000 mAh. They also deliver excellent cycle stability and incorporate integrated safety mechanisms such as the CID.
In addition, they provide significantly higher capacity, ensuring that Steasy® continues to reliably achieve its 15‑minute steam‑cooking time — while the device as a whole benefits from a substantially longer service life

What this means for users and the environment:

• longer device lifetime
• fewer Battery replacements → less waste
• stable power delivery across many charging cycles
• higher overall system energy efficiency

A technical advantage that delivers tangible benefits

Another major change: The complete lithium ion Battery is now manufactured at Jauch’s headquarters in Villingen‑Schwenningen. In our in‑house Battery production, the cells are measured, sorted, assembled, and final tested. Thanks to automated welding processes, the Battery packs can now be produced in Germany with exceptional efficiency and consistently high quality — a clear advantage for production and series reliability.
The close proximity is a real benefit: Nexenic is located in the Zurich/Winterthur area, and Villingen‑Schwenningen is only about 70 kilometers across the border. This allows in‑person meetings, testing, and coordination to take place quickly and without complication.

Since Jauch now manufactures the Battery packs itself, availability is significantly higher and no longer dependent on external manufacturers. Nexenic benefits from:

• stable delivery times
• rapid prototype builds
• direct engineering contact
• full transparency throughout the production process

The Steasy® Battery is fully tested at Jauch’s in‑house test and certification center. This also includes the UN 38.3 transport test, which is mandatory for shipping a lithium ion battery worldwide. The tests simulate transport-related stresses such as pressure, temperature changes, shocks, and vibration.

With Jauch cells and full Jauch certification, the entire Battery system is now qualified and safeguarded from a single source.

Reto Muhl, CTO and co‑founder of Nexenic, personally visited the Battery assembly operations in Villingen‑Schwenningen — and came away impressed: “The Battery production at Jauch is very well structured and exceptionally clean. The entire workflow is designed for reproducible quality.”

His key points:

• Each individual cell is electrically measured before being installed.
→ Benefit for Nexenic: Maximum pack consistency, long‑term stability, and a lower failure rate.

• High level of automation thanks to modern spot‑welding machines.
→ Benefit for Nexenic: Precise, repeatable welding points and therefore high mechanical robustness.

• Clear process steps and quality checks at every stage.
→ Benefit for Nexenic: Transparency, full traceability, and reliable series production.

With the Jauch 21700 cells, the production of the Battery pack in Villingen‑Schwenningen, and the certifications conducted in Jauch’s own test and certification center, Nexenic now receives a fully optimized Battery system that aligns perfectly with Steasy®’s premium standards. The user experience improves — and with European production, Nexenic simultaneously strengthens regional value creation.
