CHICAGO — ICCNexergy, a leading OEM of rechargeable power systems, is rolling out a new corporate identity and website.

The company, formed in 2010 with the merger of International Components Corp. and Nexergy, designs and manufactures custom battery packs, chargers, and power systems for portable devices, stationary backup power, and motive power applications.

In addition to the launch of its new brand and site, ICCNexergy released details of expansion plans for its engineering and manufacturing facilities.

The company will transition its battery manufacturing plant in Columbus, Ohio, into a business development hub for North America.

ICCNexergy said it will “consolidate its resources [by] placing engineering and manufacturing resources in closer proximity to better serve its North America, Europe, and Asia based customers.

In Colorado, where the company’s primary North American engineering team resides, ICCNexergy is opening a new 10,000 square foot manufacturing facility to provide closer proximity for key customers and market segments in the western half of the United States.

In addition to the expansion of its Colorado facilities, ICCNexergy is also doubling the size of its manufacturing capabilities in Mexico. The move in Mexico will provide ICCNexergy with more efficient manufacturing throughput and more competitive product offerings for its North American clients, the company said.

At its wholly owned, vertically integrated manufacturing facility in Qing Xi, China, ICCNexergy is expanding its production capacity by approximately 30 percent to match overall business growth and operational objectives.

ICCNexergy is also increasing engineering staff by 25 percent and expanding office space in its stateof- the-art Asia Design Center located in Guang Zhou, China. The company expects these expansions to enhance product development efficiency and provide a faster time to market for new customer programs.

Moving forward, approximately 75 perecnt of ICCNexergy’s manufacturing will be done in China , with 15 percent done in Mexico and 10 percent in Colorado. Additionally, 75 percent of the company’s engineering development will reside in China with the other 25 percent based in Colorado.

“With the merger of ICC and Nexergy, we’re very pleased to roll out our strategy for better servicing our customer base worldwide,” said Stephen McClure, CEO of ICCNexergy. “Our goal is to provide the very best customer experience in the rechargeable power systems industry. We expect our new brand and web site, accompanied by the expansion plans we are undertaking, to further set ICCNexergy apart as the industry benchmark.”

ICCNexergy is part of Inverness Graham Investments’ portfolio of companies.
