What Stryten Energy makes

Stryten Energy is a U.S. manufacturer of stored energy solutions built around three battery chemistries: advanced lead, lithium-ion, and vanadium redox flow. The company positions itself as the only supplier offering all three, so a buyer can match the chemistry, or a combination of chemistries, to the application rather than force one technology onto every job. On the lead side, that means enhanced flooded batteries (EFB) for start-stop vehicles, tubular batteries for material handling, and valve-regulated AGM batteries for backup power. On the lithium side, it means proprietary lithium-ion packs for forklifts, transportation, and military use. Its vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is aimed at medium to long duration storage of 4 to 12 hours for microgrids, utility-scale projects, data centers, and military bases.

Around the cells, Stryten builds intelligent chargers and a cloud-based fleet tool called inCOMMAND that lets material handling operators measure, model, monitor, and manage battery and charger performance from a dashboard. The company serves six broad markets: transportation (car, truck, SUV, marine, and lawn and garden aftermarket batteries sold through large retailers and distributors), motive power (forklifts and warehouse fleets through its GNB Industrial Power line), essential or network power (uninterruptible power supply, telecom, and data center backup), military and government, railway power, and grid-scale long duration storage. The company reports roughly 14 to 15 gigawatt-hours of annual manufacturing capacity, with a stated plan to expand toward 24 gigawatt-hours.

Because Stryten sells into automotive and industrial supply chains, its buyers sit close to OEMs and their tier suppliers. Its domestic footprint and vertically integrated supply chain are a large part of the pitch, which is relevant to any team weighing nearshoring against imported cells.

Ownership and history

Stryten was established on August 25, 2020, when Atlas Holdings, a private industrial holding group based in Greenwich, Connecticut, acquired substantially all of the operating assets of Exide Technologies' Americas business through a court-supervised sale under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The company launched as Stryten Manufacturing, led at the time by CEO Tim Vargo and President and COO Mike Judd, and later took the Stryten Energy name. Through those Exide and GNB assets, Stryten carries more than 130 years of battery manufacturing heritage even though the standalone company itself dates to 2020. In the same 2020 transaction, Atlas also formed Element Resources, an independent lead-battery recycling company that serves Stryten and other battery makers.

The company is headquartered at 5925 Cabot Parkway in Alpharetta, Georgia, having started in nearby Milton, Georgia at launch. Day-to-day leadership per the company's own site: Mike Judd is Chief Executive Officer and President, a role he moved into in 2023 after serving as President and COO; Petar Oklobdzija is Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, who also oversees IT and procurement; Dan Autey is Executive Vice President, Commercial; and Rodger Meyer is Executive Vice President of Operations. Tim Vargo, the founding CEO, is now Chairman of the Board.

Scale and manufacturing footprint

Stryten launched in 2020 with seven U.S. manufacturing plants. By 2025 it operated roughly 11 U.S. battery and component plants, and in March 2025 it announced a plan to add up to 10 gigawatt-hours of new capacity to reach 24 gigawatt-hours total. Its named U.S. and Canadian sites include manufacturing plants in Salina, Kansas (one of the larger lead-acid battery plants in North America), Kansas City, Kansas, Fort Smith, Arkansas, Cumming, Georgia, Manchester, Iowa, and Ottawa, Ontario, plus component plants in Kansas City, Missouri (a punch grid site the launch release described as producing 1.9 million grids per day), Columbus, Indiana, Lampeter, Pennsylvania, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Niagara Falls, New York. A charger development and assembly facility sits in Ruckersville, Virginia. The company also lists sales offices in Queretaro, Mexico and Mississauga, Ontario, and a network of distribution and service centers across the United States.

Apollo estimates the company employs about 2,500 people, and Stryten describes a vertically integrated domestic supply chain and a circular economy model that recycles lead batteries at a high rate and uses a large share of recycled material. Independent revenue figures are not published; Stryten is a private Atlas portfolio company and does not report standalone financials, so any revenue number in circulation is a broker estimate rather than a reported figure.

Known customers

Stryten sells largely through distributors, retailers, and OEM channels, so most end customers are unnamed. The publicly documented relationships are government and defense oriented.

Beyond these, the company describes serving forklift manufacturers and operators, railroad transportation companies, telecom and UPS operators, and large consumer retail brands and battery distribution partners through its transportation aftermarket line.

Sourcing evidence

Stryten appears in U.S. customs bill-of-lading records with 434 sea import shipments on record, the most recent dated September 17, 2026, which places it among active importers as of late 2026. The named foreign suppliers in the public summary read the way a domestic battery maker's inbound flow should: Delta Electronics Slovakia (power electronics and chargers), Exide Technologies (battery components from the predecessor and affiliated operations), Leoch Super Power Vietnam (lead-acid product), and Energymax Power (power components). That mix is components and chargers coming in to support U.S. assembly, consistent with a manufacturer rather than a pure importer of finished goods.

A note on coverage: these are U.S. ocean-freight records only. Air, truck, and rail movements do not appear, some records name freight intermediaries rather than manufacturers, and product categories come from declared manifest codes, which are noisy. The month-by-month import trend was not pulled for this profile, so only the shipment count and recency are reported here. Absence of a record is not evidence of absence.

Frequently asked questions

What does Stryten Energy make?

Stryten Energy manufactures advanced lead, lithium-ion, and vanadium redox flow batteries, along with intelligent chargers and cloud-based energy-management software. Its products power transportation aftermarket vehicles, forklifts and material handling fleets, uninterruptible power and telecom backup, railway systems, military applications, and grid-scale long duration storage. The company reports roughly 14 to 15 gigawatt-hours of annual manufacturing capacity.

Who owns Stryten Energy?

Stryten Energy is a portfolio company of Atlas Holdings, a private industrial holding group based in Greenwich, Connecticut. Atlas formed the company on August 25, 2020 after acquiring the Americas business assets of Exide Technologies through a Section 363 bankruptcy sale. The company launched as Stryten Manufacturing and later adopted the Stryten Energy name.

Where is Stryten Energy headquartered?

Stryten Energy is headquartered at 5925 Cabot Parkway in Alpharetta, Georgia. It operates roughly 11 to 15 battery and component manufacturing plants across the United States and Canada, including sites in Salina and Kansas City, Kansas, Fort Smith, Arkansas, Cumming, Georgia, and Ottawa, Ontario.

How many employees does Stryten Energy have?

Apollo estimates Stryten Energy employs about 2,500 people. The company operates 11 or more U.S. plants plus distribution and service centers, so its total workforce runs into the thousands. Databases that model headcount from LinkedIn profiles report much lower numbers and undercount manufacturing workforces.

What is Stryten Energy's annual revenue?

Stryten Energy does not publish standalone financials because it is a private Atlas Holdings portfolio company. Revenue figures in circulation, including a roughly $1 billion estimate on LinkedIn, are broker models rather than reported numbers, so this profile treats revenue only as an estimate band for scale context.

Who are Stryten Energy's customers?

Most of Stryten's customers are unnamed distributors, retailers, and OEM partners. The publicly documented relationship is with the U.S. Department of Energy, which awarded Stryten MAKE IT Prize funding in 2024. The company also states that it serves military and government installations, forklift manufacturers and operators, railroads, telecom and UPS operators, and large consumer retail brands.
