EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
VALUE ADDED BATTERY DISTRIBUTOR
PBG Reference No.: S845

We are pleased to present this business opportunity for your review. Premier Business Group, Ltd. is one of the leading business brokerage firms in the Midwest. We specialize in representing manufacturing, distribution and service companies in the divestiture process. The Seller pays our fees; there is no monetary obligation to prospective purchasers. Premiers' expertise includes assisting in structuring the transaction and financing. We encourage you to make an appointment with the broker listed on this offering to discuss your needs, to obtain further information regarding the company you are inquiring about, and to receive information on other companies that may be of interest.

This company purchases rechargeable industrial, commercial, and consumer batteries from major overseas manufacturers and distributes them to a broad customer base throughout the United States. Value added capabilities include pack design and assembly, packaging, bar coding, wire harness fabrication, spot welding, testing, and quality control. The company also manages a warehousing and order fulfillment operation.

Historically, the company’s focus has been primarily on rechargeable battery technologies. The company serves a variety of end users, but has particular strength in the power-sports, medical, and telecom industries, and has built up a loyal client base across all of its business sectors. Supplier relationships are well established, and the company provides excellent logistic and promotional support for its overseas manufacturers.

Worldwide primary and secondary demand is projected to rise at a nearly 7% annual pace through 2010 to $73.6 billion, according to a study published by the Freedonia Group (Cleveland, Ohio), an industry market research firm. Volume is being driven by modern society’s appetite for technology and the proliferation of industrial, commercial and consumer products fueled by the portable power of batteries. Globalization is also an established fact in the rechargeable battery industry, and superior products from East Asian manufacturers have long held a prominent position in the American market.

This company is ideally positioned for continued growth. Already in line with major Asian suppliers, it has the logistics experience and track record to support more clients with this capability. Among its customers, strong relations with end-users in the medical and telecom industries are a springboard for deeper penetration into these markets.

However, on both of these dimensions, the company could benefit significantly from a more visionary and better supported sales and marketing program -- one that would make strategic additions to the existing product line and reach out to new markets through both standard advertising and an expansion of the current website. There is so much potential for this company that can, and should be explored and acted upon.
