EaglePicher Technologies’ history as a battery manufacturer dates back to 1922. The company became a battery supplier to the U.S. Government in the 1940s and was supplying silver-zinc batteries for missiles and rockets in the 1950s. The company’s longtime heritage as an industry leader in battery production has resulted in the diverse line of products that exists today. In recent years, EaglePicher has strategically broadened its portfolio and technical expertise with the acquisitions of Yardney Technical Products, East Greenwich, Rhode Island, in 2014.
