Read MoreHide Full Article

EnerSys (ENS - Free Report) has recently acquired the United Kingdom (UK) based, battery service and maintenance provider Industrial Battery and Charger Services Limited (IBCS). The financial terms of the transaction were kept under wraps.

The addition of IBCS will enable ENS to bolster its motive power service offerings. This buyout will also strengthen EnerSys’ presence in the UK market and augment its comprehensive range of battery-related services including installation and maintenance to repair and replacement.

IBCS will operate under its present name and branding. Its management team is anticipated to remain unchanged. The buyout is effective immediately.

EnerSys is likely to benefit from its solid product offerings, a firm focus on product innovation (including lithium, Touch-Safe, CPUC and DC fast charge) and strengthening demand in the quarters ahead. Its Energy Systems sales are driven by strength in broadband and data center businesses and favorable pricing actions. Robust demand in electrification and automation end markets is driving growth for the Motive Power segment. For Specialty, robust demand from Class 8 Truck OEMs is supporting the segment’s revenues.
