EnerSys (NYSE:ENS), the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications, announced today that it has acquired Industrial Battery and Charger Services Limited (IBCS), a leading battery service and maintenance provider based in the United Kingdom (UK).

The acquisition represents a strategic move for EnerSys, enabling the company to expand its motive power service offerings and strengthen its presence in the UK market. With the addition of IBCS, EnerSys will be able to further enhance its comprehensive range of battery-related services, from installation and maintenance to repair and replacement.

“We are excited to welcome IBCS to the EnerSys family,” said Vincent Baudelet, VP Sales and Service, Motive Power EMEA, at EnerSys. “Their expertise in battery service and maintenance will enhance our ability to provide end-to-end solutions for our customers, and their strong reputation in the UK market will help us grow our business in the region.”

IBCS will continue to operate under its current name and branding, and its management team is expected to remain in place. The acquisition is effective immediately.

“We are delighted to be joining forces with EnerSys,” said Paul Hewson, Managing Director at IBCS. “This partnership will allow us to offer our customers even more comprehensive and integrated battery solutions, including top-of-the-line lead acid batteries, proprietary Thin Plate Pure Lead technology (TPPL), and the industry’s most advanced lithium battery while also providing new opportunities for our employees.”

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
