OUR History

In 1926, William J. Koenig, a German immigrant in pursuit of the American dream, opened the doors to a small battery repair shop in Fremont, Ohio. Today, Crown is pleased to open its doors to a single battery market, too: The World.

Around the world, our batteries are powering:

Railroad industries
Underground mining equipment
Steel mills
Renewable energy installations
Recreational marine and automotive industries
Aerial access equipment

Whether it’s floor care equipment at work in New York City or Tokyo, or an electric truck lift operating in Flint, Michigan, Crown Batteries can be found getting the work done right.

We serve the World’s Power Needs from Fremont, Ohio

One location for engineering and manufacturing gives us incredible efficiency and absolute quality control. From this location we serve global battery markets through a sales force and service network strategically positioned in six continents and more than fifty countries. This means we can satisfy any customer’s power needs, anywhere in the world.

Making History. Making Batteries
