Commitment.

We take pride in how we operate every day, accounting for the needs and expectations of our customers, employees, shareholders, the environment, and communities every step of the way. As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain committed to maintaining high ethical standards as corporate citizens. To do this, we:  

  • Follow our company values 

  • Comply with applicable laws and regulations 

  • Demonstrate dedicated leadership 

  • Act with integrity and accountability 

  • Value our employees, our suppliers, our industry alliances, and communities in which we operate 

Sustainability & environmental stewardship

From manufacturing to installation to recycling, our team of experts can install and maintain your battery systems and keep them in optimal condition throughout their lifecycles. And, as part of our commitment to sustainability, we combine our products and services to support our customers from system design to environmentally-conscious disposal. 

We consistently invest in innovation and upgrades in our manufacturing and production facilities. The recent addition of advanced robotics, state-of-the-art cast-on-strap (COS) technology, automated acid fill stations, heat seal and testing equipment, helps ensure we continue to produce the highest-quality products for our customers.

Regular battery system maintenance is crucial to consistent equipment operation, performance, and most importantly your customer experience. Our qualified Master Distributors provide maintenance and support of our battery systems to provide reliable service.

We offer a convenient and environmentally safe recycling option for batteries that have reached the end of their lifecycle.

Over 98% of the components in lead acid batteries—including lead, sulfuric acid and plastics—can be recovered. We then use up to 80 percent of these reclaimed materials to produce new batteries.

We partner with licensed hazardous material carriers that collect spent industrial batteries from our Master Distributor and retailer sites and consolidation storage warehouses. These materials are transported to permitted lead recycling plants and these facilities use state-of-the-art battery dismantling and separating technologies to reprocess spent lead acid batteries. This results in reduced waste streams and increased peace of mind around “cradle-to-grave” responsibility.

Our recycling efforts are designed to support best practices in sustainability, reducing our waste streams and our impact on the environment.
