Lithium-ion battery manufacturer for commercial and industrial vehicles
American Battery Solutions manufactures advanced lithium-ion batteries for commercial fleets and industrial vehicles from facilities in Michigan and Ohio. The tech stack reveals a manufacturing-heavy operation (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Plex ERP, Ignition SCADA, SQL Server) with active adoption of APQP and Ignition — indicating a shift toward more structured product lifecycle management and real-time production visibility. The hiring mix is skewed toward manufacturing and engineering roles, with lean sales and support functions, reflecting a B2B industrial supplier model focused on operational excellence rather than demand generation.
