Mesa Technical Associates, Inc. acquires lead-acid battery business from Alcad in North America.
Alcad will now focus exclusively on providing full battery solutions and services based on its
flagship nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) products. Mesa will expand its lead-acid battery product and
service offering to its customers in the utilities and industrial sectors.

Cobleskill, NY, September 13, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Mesa Technical Associates, Inc., a provider of
turn-key DC power solutions for telecommunications, utilities, and industrial markets, and Alcad, the
world's leading supplier of advanced technology battery solutions for standby applications, have
concluded an agreement for Mesa to acquire Alcad's lead-acid battery business unit in North America.
Alcad will now focus on its core business of providing complete solutions for nickel-cadmium battery
systems.

“This agreement is a real win for both companies and customers. Alcad can focus on growing their core
advanced battery solutions, while Mesa will significantly expand its nationwide lead-acid business and
presence. Mesa is well positioned to service the thousands of customer sites in North America, who can
expect extraordinary service and uncompromising quality, with competitively priced products and
solutions,” said Howard Gartland, President of Mesa Technical Associates, Inc.

Existing Alcad customers and sales channel partners will benefit from added solution sets from Mesa
including: installation services, custom power cabinet integration, mobile sub-station battery trailers,
battery testing services, and energy storage systems.

“Mesa is without question the best choice to carry on the lead-acid legacy Alcad has created for over four
decades in North America, based on their capabilities, experience, and reputation in the industry. Alcad's
highly competent sales, engineering, and operations teams in North Haven, Connecticut will now be able
to concentrate on enhancing our customers' experience for full solutions and services featuring our robust
and long-lasting nickel-cadmium batteries,” said Marino Cavaggion, Director of Sales in North America
for Alcad.

This important change is allowing Alcad to adopt a new focus. Over the past few years, nickel- cadmium
has seen a very large increase in new adopters in the areas of outdoor utility switchgear applications,
generator set engine starting, and various other applications in the upstream and downstream oil and gas
business, all of which require a very high level of safety and reliability.

Alcad is one of the world's major suppliers of nickel-cadmium batteries for industrial and commercial
applications. The company offers an extensive range of cutting-edge battery solutions, designed to deliver
high performance, safety and reliability.
