Micropower Group × First Green Industries | Strategic Lithium-ion battery partnership

For First Green Industries, the core challenge was to identify a battery supplier that could:

• Support manufacturing operations on both sides of the Atlantic
• Provide localized sales, service, and technical support in North America and Europe.
• Provide 48V and 96V solutions that could be compatible with the mechanical and software architectures of their existing machines.
• Minimize downtime and mitigate risk when introducing new electric equipment to the market

As with any new product category, especially with electrified construction equipment, concerns around uptime, field performance, and operator misuse had to be addressed proactively.

The Solution

Micropower Group delivered a localized, fully integrated Lithium-ion battery solution that aligned with First Green’s operational and technical requirements.

Key elements of the solution included:

• Dual‑continent support: Battery manufacturing, service, and sales capabilities in both Europe and the US, enabling seamless logistics and local responsiveness.
• Flexible battery integration: Tailored battery solutions designed to fit existing machine platforms, avoiding costly chassis redesigns.
• Close technical collaboration: Tight integration between battery, charger, and machine components, enabling rapid issue resolution and continuous performance optimization.
• Fast response and field support: The ability to quickly react to real‑world usage issues, reducing downtime and ensuring customer confidence.
