June 23, 2008
BOLIVAR, OH-Harris Battery Co. has expanded its operations to the West Coast with the acquisition of the Los Angeles branch of Discover Energy, a worldwide leader in stored energy products.
Harris Battery's new California operation features a 6,000 sq. ft. regional distribution center located at 15140 Goldenwest Circle, Westminster, CA, and a sales office in San Francisco. The market area served by the new branch includes Arizona, California, Hawaii, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.
"The addition of California to our service area demonstrates our commitment to the Clean & Green movement and to the Discover product," said Jerry Harris, president. "These products not only use the highest levels of sustainable and environmental stewardship, but are also engineered to provide more energy while reducing our environmental footprint."
Harris Battery is the U.S. factory warehouse for Discover dry cell batteries, which carry the Clean & Green(TM) trademark, identifying the company's commitment to provide responsible products that conserve resources and help protect the environment. They are 98-percent recyclable.
Additionally, Discover batteries are completely sealed, leak-proof, spill proof and 100-percent maintenance free-it is never necessary to add water. They are non-hazardous, non-gassing, approved for environmentally sensitive areas and a direct replacement for hazardous battery technology.
Founded in 1979, Harris Battery has grown from a small, local operation to one of the nation's largest independent wholesale distributors of batteries and related products. It provides replacement and original-equipment batteries for a wide range of applications-for golf carts, floor scrubbers, marine, RV, commercial, industrial, renewable energy, uninterruptible power supply and other applications.
Based in Bolivar, OH, the company maintains a combined 90,000 sq. ft. inventory at eight regional distribution centers and serves customers throughout a 41-state area.
