EnerSys is acquiring Ultralife for $320 million to expand its advanced battery technologies and increase its presence in the defense market, especially in drone and counter-drone systems. The deal aims to create cost synergies, grow manufacturing capacity especially for FEOC-compliant batteries, and accelerate growth in defense power solutions for the U.S. Department of War and allied forces.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

EnerSys is expanding its defense battery portfolio and capacity by buying Ultralife, opening opportunities for suppliers in battery components and specialised materials. You need to prepare for rising demand in defence power systems and may find new buyers among displaced Ultralife suppliers.
