At the heart of Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc.’s
(OTCQB: OGES) operations lies a deep commitment to innovation. Since its
establishment, the company has been innovating to achieve commercial success,
and, over the course of three decades, it has come to lead the innovation,
development, manufacturing and marketing of disruptive energy storage
technology (primarily lithium-ion batteries) for civilian, medical and military
uses.
Oakridge is an integrated energy storage solutions company
that employs state-of-the-art technology in designing, developing and
manufacturing high-quality cells, batteries, and energy storage systems. The
company is a leading supplier and manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries, and a
dedication to research and development has led it to create some of the world’s
longest-lasting rechargeable power sources, including a battery system that
holds its charge up to three times longer than its foreign-manufactured
equivalents.
To become a leader around the globe, Oakridge has widened
its scope. At the end of 2015, the company transitioned from being a primarily
research and development-focused company to being a fully-developed battery
manufacturing company. The company embraced the vision, capability and
technology it needed to implement its expansion strategies. Then, it broadened
its presence and relationships in the battery business significantly. Finally,
it secured a much higher quality of equipment and raw materials to build its
groundbreaking battery systems while still offering reliability and
affordability to its customers.
In the first quarter of 2016, Oakridge began operating the
only lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility in the United States, a move
that gives it even more control over the quality of its energy storage systems.
Backed by an investment of over $40 million into research and product
development since 2013, the 70,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility in Palm Bay, Florida, went into full commercial production
immediately.
The company also began fulfilling commercial orders.
Oakridge has been shipping its cutting-edge lithium-ion batteries to
manufacturers of unmanned maritime vehicles, the golf cart and motorcycle markets
and other custom and semi-custom markets. In a significant move and for the
first time, the company has been operating a regular, indefinite commercial
production schedule to fulfill its existing pipeline of orders, which is
currently valued at approximately $24 million.
The U.S. market for lithium-ion batteries represents over
35% of worldwide demand, and, as the sole domestic manufacturer of these
batteries, Oakridge is in an enviable position and exclusively capable of
leveraging that position. The company’s projected revenues for the first
quarter of the year (its first revenue-producing quarter ever) are thus strong
and expected to exceed $250,000.
