BRILLIANCE
Leading manufacturer of custom battery packs , Alexander Battery Technologies , stands stronger than ever on the dawn of its 40th anniversary
Global custom battery pack manufacturer , Alexander Battery Technologies , has opened an exciting new chapter in the last five years . Under new leadership , the company has broken into new markets , expanded its manufacturing capability , and broadened the horizons of brand awareness . As Chief Executive Officer , Mark Rutherford , begins : “ There ’ s been lots of updates here since the pandemic . Throughout 2020 , we supported several businesses with breathing apparatus and medical equipment . Right in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis , we went from doing 5000 batteries a month to around 50,000 for some of our bigger customers . It was a time of significant acceleration for the business , we jumped from roughly £ 12 million in turnover to over £ 60 million in just three or four months .
“ After that , everything calmed down and began to level out . We used to have a US facility , which we shut down because we realized we could do everything that we needed from our base in the UK . There was also a change in management . I took over operations with two business partners by my side . Once we got accustomed to daily operations , we came up with a full five-year strategic plan .
