Stryten completes acquisition of C&D Technologies and Trojan Battery. Stryten Energy announced on October 1, 2026, that it had completed its acquisition of C&D Technologies and Trojan Battery Company, which the July agreement identified as a KPS Capital Partners portfolio business. The transaction adds stationary and specialty batteries to the Atlas Holdings portfolio company's manufacturing platform, giving it a broader range of products to offer transportation and standby-power customers. A broader battery offering. Before the combination, C&D Technologies made stationary batteries used for standby power in markets including data centers and telecommunications. Trojan-branded specialty motive batteries served applications including golf carts and aerial lifts. Stryten says the combined company will retain both product brands under the Stryten Energy name. Stryten chief executive Mike Judd said in July that combining the businesses would expand manufacturing and help serve transportation, industrial, essential-power and government customers. Rick Heller, then identified as C&D Trojan's chief executive, said a broader product range would support customers' changing storage needs. Those are the executives' stated commercial aims, not reported sales gains. Scale and transaction limits. Stryten reports that the combined business operates 18 battery manufacturing and component facilities in the United States, Mexico and China, with approximately 4,800 employees worldwide. Its July agreement projected 15 U.S. facilities supported by 3,700 employees. Because the October employee figure is explicitly worldwide and the July figure accompanied a U.S. footprint projection, the two disclosures do not establish workforce growth between announcements. The July agreement anticipated a third-quarter closing, subject to conditions and regulatory approvals. Stryten announced completion on October 1 without giving an effective time. Seller's counsel described the transaction as a sale, while KPS called the completed combination a merger; neither account specifies KPS's proceeds or whether it retained an interest. The buyer's and seller's counsel identify Atlas and KPS with their respective portfolio companies, but the reviewed records do not quantify either sponsor's post-closing interest. Stryten says it intends to invest in U.S. manufacturing capacity, facility upgrades and workforce development, including expanded absorbent glass mat battery capacity for automotive aftermarket customers. It disclosed neither a spending amount nor completed investment under those plans. The transaction terms, including the purchase price, were not disclosed.

Stryten acquires C&D Trojan in next new phase of US consolidation. Published - July 13, 2026 08:46 pm BST. Stryten Energy agreed today to acquire C&D Technologies and Trojan Battery in one of the largest consolidations in the North American lead battery industry in recent years. Today's announcement came as a complete shock to the battery industry. "I didn't have a clue - and I normally know when something is in the air - that this was even going on," one senior battery machinery supplier told Batteries International. Financial terms have not been disclosed. "The transaction is about far more than adding manufacturing capacity. It reflects growing demand for larger, vertically integrated battery suppliers capable of serving sectors ranging from AI data centres and telecommunications to defence, utilities and critical infrastructure," said one observer. In an odd way it fits in with a prophetic interview that Rick Godber, then CEO of the family firm gave in July 2013 to Batteries International. Trojan was then being acquired by private equity firm Charlesbank Capital Partners. He told Mike Halls, then the editor, that the sale reflected a change in the ownership emphasis: "Our ambition is no longer to be about the future of batteries as a product - but ourselves as a solutions provider for the energy needs of the world to come." This deal, which should close during the third quarter of 2026 subject to regulatory approvals, also shows how private equity firms continue to reshape the battery industry through successive rounds of acquisition and consolidation. Charlesbank sold Trojan in 2018 to C&D Technologies, itself owned by private equity firm KPS Capital which has now sold this arm on to Atlas Holdings. The combined business will bring together two complementary companies with relatively little overlap in several key markets. Stryten has strong positions in transportation batteries, motive power, military applications and energy storage. C&D Technologies is well known for reserve power batteries used in telecommunications, utilities and data centres. Trojan Battery adds one of the industry's best recognised brands in deep-cycle batteries for golf cars, floor care equipment, renewable energy and recreational vehicles. Once completed, Stryten will operate 15 manufacturing and component facilities across the US employing around 3,700 people, together with operations in Mexico and China and commercial offices across Europe and Asia. The company also plans to expand production of AGM batteries, reflecting increasing demand from start-stop vehicles, telecommunications infrastructure and data centres. The acquisition strengthens Stryten's position in markets that have become increasingly strategic. Demand for reserve power batteries has risen sharply as investment in AI data centres accelerates, while telecommunications operators, utilities and defence organisations continue to prioritise proven battery technologies supported by domestic manufacturing. The transaction reshapes the North American competitive landscape. The enlarged Stryten will emerge as a stronger competitor to established manufacturers such as Clarios, East Penn and EnerSys. It says it will have one of the broadest product portfolios in the industry spanning automotive, industrial, reserve power, military and lithium-based energy storage technologies. Mike Judd, chief executive officer and president of Stryten Energy, said the acquisition would broaden the company's manufacturing footprint, strengthen its product portfolio and improve its ability to serve customers across transportation, industrial, reserve power and government markets. Rick Heller, president and chief executive officer of C&D Trojan, said the combination would create a stronger platform capable of meeting customers' evolving energy storage requirements.
