Concentric, LLC, a national provider in DC power management and on-site maintenance for the material handling and critical power industries, has acquired Weldex Sales, the largest battery provider in the state of Virginia. Best known for their commitment to sustainability through their Environment and Safety divisions, Weldex Sales is also a certified, women-owned business. This acquisition strengthens Concentric’s footprint in Virginia while expanding innovative solutions like lithium and hybrid power systems to a new customer base.

“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.”
