In 2023, American Battery Solutions was acquired by Komatsu, a world leader in construction, mining, forestry, and industrial heavy equipment. Following the acquisition, the company continues to operate as an independent entity while serving as Komatsu's centre of excellence for custom battery systems in construction, mining, and forestry applications. This dual focus allows the company to expand its core commercial, fleet, and industrial business whilst supporting Komatsu's 2050 carbon neutrality goal.
