sell batteries and chargers via a conventional buy-sell
engagement. In other words, ABT manages power on
behalf of customers and drives operational efficiency,
capital reduction, and maintenance savings. ABT is
continuing to invest in its own software systems and
staff to create lower and lower cost of ownership for
its customers.
On the reserve side of the business – telecom and
backup power for mission critical facilities – ABT
brings customers comprehensive full-service solutions
to power needs, because, though their customers’ cor-
porate missions are not about backup power systems,
backup power is nonetheless an absolute necessity.
Simply, ABT’s expert technicians handle their custom-
ers’ concerns about a reliable power supply, freeing up
their customers to laser focus on their own business
missions.
“ABT has dedicated itself to providing highest-quality
products and service that exceeds customer expec-
tations every time,” said Ken Fearn, the company’s
founder and president. “For each business interest,
ABT is committed to working with its customers to de-
liver comprehensive, full-service DC power manage-
ment solutions at the best possible cost.”
Fearn began the business in 2000 in Greensboro, N.C.
and its headquarters remain there, alongside regional
service centers in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee and soon Virginia.
