Since our inception in 1968 as Computer Components Corporation, we've evolved from a distributor of electronic components for industry giants like Texas Instruments into a leader in custom energy storage solutions. In the 1970s, we became one of the nation’s first authorized Panasonic battery modification centers, marking our entry into the energy storage market. By the late 90s, we rebranded as UPG, broadening our offerings to include sealed lead-acid batteries and other advanced chemistries, while also expanding our supply chain capabilities.
Over the past decade, we’ve further strengthened our portfolio by integrating Intelligent Technologies (iTECH) and Progressive Technologies (PTI) under the UPG umbrella. These innovative manufacturers provide custom-engineered energy storage and charging solutions, including advanced smart lithium-ion batteries and chargers for specialized applications.
Our comprehensive capabilities and decades of experience enable us to deliver proven quality, trusted expertise, and unmatched value to our clients. Whether it's a simple drop-in replacement battery or a complex, mission-critical energy solution, we consistently meet the demands of performance, safety, and cost.
Looking ahead, our mission remains clear: to stay at the forefront of technological advancements in energy storage, ensuring we deliver solutions that precisely balance the unique requirements of every project, including technology, performance, safety, timelines, and budget.
We’ve been time tested and proven with a track record of loyal customers. Status quo isn't in our DNA. We are deeply committed to challenging ourselves to improve, do better and continuously innovate for your benefit.
