Energy storage solutions provider Stryten Energy announced it would acquire C&D Trojan, another American battery brand with a storied history. The transaction is anticipated to close in Q3 2026, and the combined company will continue to be led by Stryten’s CEO and president Mike Judd.
“This combination brings together two highly complementary organizations with a shared commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance energy storage solutions,” Judd said. “By combining our capabilities, we will accelerate innovation, expand our manufacturing footprint, and better serve customers across transportation, industrial, essential power and military and government sectors.”
Trojan Battery formed in 1925 and has been a leading deep-cycle battery manufacturer in the global market. In 2018, C&D Technologies acquired the Trojan brand to form C&D Trojan.
“C&D Trojan and Stryten Energy share a strong commitment to innovation, manufacturing excellence, and serving customers in critical markets,” said Rick Heller, President and CEO of C&D Trojan. “By bringing our organizations together, we are expanding our capabilities, broadening our solutions portfolio, and creating a stronger foundation to support customers’ evolving energy storage needs.”
The combined Stryten-Tojan organization will offer one of the industry’s most comprehensive portfolios of lead and lithium-based energy storage technologies, spanning a broad set of markets and applications.
Following the close of the transaction, Stryten will operate 15 battery manufacturing and component facilities across the United States, supported by 3,700 employees. This expanded domestic footprint will strengthen Stryten’s vertically integrated manufacturing supply chain and its ability to produce energy storage solutions at scale to meet growing demand. Additionally, Stryten plans to expand absorbent glass mat (AGM) battery manufacturing capacity to meet increased demand for advanced lead batteries required for hybrid and start-stop vehicle technologies, as well as data center and telecom resiliency applications.
