September 26, 2019: Exide Technologies’ industrial battery division GNB Industrial Power has signed an agreement to supply lead batteries to the Raymond Corporation, a warehouse management company that has a network of centres all across the US and Canada, the firm announced on September 24.

GNB will supply its motive power batteries to the corporation’s authorized sales and service centres, which will then be able to provide GNB’s conventional flat-plate and tubular lead acid batteries for forklifts.

The batteries are made in GNB’s Kansas plant, where capacity has been increased with new manufacturing lines, the company says.

The Raymond Corporation sells manual and electric forklift trucks and conveyor systems for warehouse operations.
