VISTA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLUX), a developer of advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions for electrification of commercial and industrial equipment, today announced it is opening a new Atlanta facility on May 1, 2023 to supplement its customer support services in response to growth in nationwide sales of lithium-ion battery packs.
The Atlanta facility will enable faster response times to Flux Power’s global Fortune 500 and 100 customer base, while also materially reducing costs associated with personnel travel and shipping of battery packs to and from the Company’s headquarters in Vista, CA.

In addition to live customer support personnel operating from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET, the 5,000 square-foot Atlanta facility is fully equipped with ramp and truck access. The new center complements an ongoing partnership with Cleveland-based Arcon Equipment Inc., the company’s warranty and authorized service provider, to deliver full lifecycle service equipment handling, maintenance, and end-of-life battery services.
