John Anderson made the decision at the very beginning of his ownership in U.S. Battery that it would be a company known for its commitment to serve God and the world we live in. He was, for many years, on the board of directors for Wycliffe Bible translators, an organization dedicated to translating and distributing bibles to the most remote parts of the world. Over the years the company has supported local feeding programs as well as offering support to Manna Worldwide. For many years, the employees of U.S. Battery have sent thousands of Christmas boxes around the world through their support of Samaritan’s Purse, Operation Christmas.
The company sees this legacy as a responsibility. “To whom much has been given, much will be expected. Luke 12:28”, stated Terry Agrelius, President/CEO.
As the industry continues to drive innovation, push the boundaries of quality, and foster environmental stewardship within our industry, U.S. Battery remains dedicated to serving customers with superior products and exceptional service.
