History

*Exide Technologies plant in Mississauga, Ontario (Canada)

GNB Industrial Power, Exide's predecessor corporation was the Electric Storage Battery Company. Founded by W.W. Gibbs in 1888. Gibbs purchased the ideas and patents of inventor Clement Payen to make the storage battery a commercial product. Gibbs targeted electric lighting companies so they could use the storage batteries to provide services to their customers.

In 1938, the Electric Storage Battery Company acquired the Giant Storage Battery Company, and expanded into battery chargers and testers. In 1972, Exide acquired the Edison Storage Battery Company, which had developed a practical nickel-iron battery in 1901. The production of this type of battery was subsequently discontinued in 1975.

In 1987, Exide acquired General Battery Corporation and moved the company headquarters to Reading, Pennsylvania. Exide became a publicly traded company in October 1993. In 1997, Exide NASCAR Select Batteries were introduced, which is the official battery of NASCAR. Exide NASCAR Select is engineered to start high compression engines that demand nearly twice the starting power of your car. In 2000, the battery brand was renamed Exide Select.

In 2000, Exide acquired GNB Technologies, a North American supplier of automotive batteries.
