What Concentric does

Concentric, LLC is a U.S. industrial power services company that designs, delivers, and maintains DC power and energy storage solutions for forklift fleets, data centers, utilities, communications, and manufacturing facilities. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Carrollton, Texas, the company is a subsidiary of OnPoint Group and was acquired by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in July 2023. Concentric reports a workforce of 501-1,000 employees and operates 60+ service locations across more than 40 states, positioning itself as the nation's largest forklift power provider with 25 years of operating history.

The company's product portfolio is organized around three pillars. Forklift Power centers on PowerHIVE™, an autonomous battery management system that standardizes batteries and executes two-minute, zero-operator battery swaps; GuaranteedPOWER®, a managed-service offering that converts battery capex to a predictable monthly opex with uptime guarantees; and ConcentricCare℠ for ongoing maintenance. Critical Power includes PerpetualPOWER® (fixed monthly critical power service), battery energy storage systems (BESS, typically 1-15 MW), microgrids, distributed energy resource (DER) management, and Virtual Power Plant enablement. On-Site Maintenance deploys dedicated technicians to customer facilities to service material handling equipment, ASRS, AGVs, conveyors, and Autostore systems. Underlying technology is brand-independent, allowing Concentric to specify across multiple battery and equipment vendors.

Concentric makes money primarily through multi-year managed-service subscriptions (GuaranteedPOWER, PerpetualPOWER, ConcentricCare), supplemented by hardware sales of batteries, chargers, BESS, and microgrid equipment, plus on-site professional services. Go-to-market is consultative and direct, organized into specialized sales teams for Forklift Power, Critical Power, Dedicated Maintenance, and Energy Storage Systems, serving Fortune 5000 enterprise customers across warehousing, data centers, utilities, telecom, and industrial verticals. Growth has been driven by a sustained M&A roll-up (eight acquisitions since 2021) layered on organic adoption of PowerHIVE and entry into energy storage.
