Our History

Manufacturing industry power solutions for over 100 years

Over the years, C&D Technologies’ contribution to the data center and communications markets – through our work with Bell Laboratories and strong ties with several major original equipment manufacturers — has solidified us as leaders in the industrial battery industry. We continue to grow by focusing on innovation in our core products, strategic partnerships, and key acquisitions. As part of this strategy, we acquired Trojan Battery Company, a leading manufacturer of deep-cycle batteries for motive and solar applications. This acquisition has allowed us to expand and become one of North America's largest energy storage solution providers.

In 2017 KPS, a global private equity firm dedicated to investing in manufacturing and industrial companies, acquired C&D to leverage the company’s leadership in industrial power storage. This acquisition has strengthened C&D’s financial footing while providing KPS with state-of-the-art energy storage, research, engineering, and manufacturing facilities which are prime for global energy solutions and services growth.

Our ongoing strategy is to continue building C&D’s capacity and innovative solutions to meet the growing demand for high-quality energy storage solutions worldwide. We built our reputation by providing industry-leading industrial power solutions and continue to do so through state-of-art engineering. We are committed to providing industry-leading products and services to ensure power is available when and where it’s needed. C&D Technologies stands proudly behind our products and people, creating powerful solutions that address future technological challenges.
