Powermat was founded in 2007 as a result of the huge boom in mobile technology. In their view, the natural progression of mobile technology involves complete wire-free operation, especially for charging. With this idea in mind, they began work on the first Powermat wireless charger. This is the first company to make inductive wireless chargers widely available. This increasingly popular technology has spawned a variety of different products as a result, but none quite match the elegance and efficiency of the Powermat wireless charger.

Powermats use induction technology to charge your mobile devices. This works by transferring electricity from the charger to your phone through magnetic fields. So, when you drop your smartphone or other compatible mobile device on the wireless charger, charging can begin even without precise, uninhibited contact with a conductive surface.
