Hi,
Platinum batteries are manufactured Europeand in the Far East rtc and distributed under the "Platinum" brand by
http://www.platinumbatteries.co.uk/ based in Trafford Park Manchester
I collected one from them and the guy who handed the battery over placed an unbraded battery on the bench looked at the invoice and then selected a "Platinum" battery label from a long row of label dispensers and fixed it to my battery

Dear Sir
Apologies for the late reply as I have been away from the office.
There are no “real” car, truck, marine and leisure battery manufacturers in the UK
There are two assemblers of batteries in the South East but they are mainly manufacturing special types; mainly for vintage and veteran vehicles
My estimation is that the batteries sold in the UK come form the following areas
75% Europe (including Turkey)
20% Far East (China, Korea, Indonesia)
3% North and South America
2% Africa and Middle East
