Name and logo
kurybees s’inspire de Curibis le nom Romain de la ville natale du fondateur, actuellement appelée Korba. Ce choix traduit un sentiment d’attachement du fondateur à sa ville natale qui peut être vu comme un gage de loyauté envers ses clients.
The different transcription of the name Curibis by kurybees aims to highlight the bees of the English word bees. A symbol of productivity, organization and well-done work, the bee is a discreet but very inspiring and creative totem animal.
bees also refers to “battery for electrical energy storage”. Electrical energy is carried by the free electron clouds, stored by the lithium ions that are inserted into the host material.
Here again, we can imagine the hum of thousands of free bees foraging in the flowers in search of the precious nectar. Nectar that the bee stores in its abdomen, like a fully charged battery gauge!
