Concentric, an OnPoint Group Company, acquires Virginia-based battery provider, Weldex Sales

Concentric, a leader in DC power management and on-site maintenance for the material handling and critical power industries, has acquired Weldex Sales, said to be the largest battery provider in the state of Virginia.

Best known for their commitment to sustainability through its Environment and Safety divisions, Weldex Sales is also a certified, women-owned business, Concentric noted. This acquisition strengthens Concentric’s footprint in Virginia while expanding innovative solutions like lithium and hybrid power systems to a new customer base, the company added.

“For more than three decades, Weldex Sales has earned a reputation throughout Virginia as the place to turn to for any forklift power problem. We admire this heritage of bringing clients solutions that also emphasize sustainability and safety metrics,” said Concentric President, John Shea. “As the nation’s largest forklift and power organization, it is a natural fit incorporating Weldex Sales into the Concentric team.”
