 PROFILE
Exide charges on as the world's #1 maker of lead-acid automotive and industrial batteries. The company's customers include Kmart, NAPA, Pep Boys, and other retail aftermarket outlets and automakers such as DaimlerChrysler and Volkswagen. Exide's auto batteries account for about 65% of sales. The company also makes batteries for farm equipment, golf carts, boats, and submarines. About 65% of the its battery sales are in Europe under brands such as Fulmen, DETA, and Tudor. Having sold its battery charger operations to reduce debt, Exide has purchased Pacific Dunlop's battery business, GNB Technologies, and is doing business as Exide Technologies. Restructuring charges and sluggish aftermarket sales have hurt profits.
