Ecobat Battery, a based battery and energy storage specialist based in Shrewsbury, has been carved out of US-headquarters parent company Ecobat Group by private equity firm Endless LLP.
Ecobat Battery supports a wide range of applications, including automotive, marine and leisure, commercial vehicles, motorcycles and industrial uses. The company, which has turnover of more than £200 million, has a strong European presence, with a network of distribution hubs across the UK, Ireland, Spain, France, Belgium and Netherlands.
The carve-out was led by the company’s existing management team, including managing director Russell McBurnie and Alex Powell. The deal aims to provide the company with the capital and strategic support to accelerate its growth, invest in its capabilities and expand its market reach.
Calling the acquisition “an exciting new chapter” for Ecobat Battery, Russell McBurnie commented: "Endless brings a wealth of experience in supporting specialist distribution businesses, and we are confident that their backing will help us unlock new growth opportunities and continue delivering exceptional value to our customers."
Andy Ross, investment partner of Endless, added: "We are delighted to welcome the Ecobat Battery Division into the Endless portfolio.”
"The business has a strong heritage, a talented team, and a clear role to play in the battery distribution market. We look forward to working closely with the management team to support their growth strategy."
