With annual revenues in excess of $30 million, ABSL has supplied batteries for over 70 space satellite systems along with instrumentation systems for various space missions.
Sanjay Deshpande, senior vice president for EnerSys Advanced Systems, who will manage the acquired business, added "EnerSys greatly values the experience and talent within ABSL.
ABSL recognizes that environmental and social sustainability will be a key success factor for the project and has invested considerable time and energy to ensure compliance with AfDB environmental and social safeguards policies, the International Finance Corporation, performance standards, the EU bio-energy environmental and social sustainability standards and those of the Roundtable for Sustainable Biofuels.
The ABSL project represents the largest private sector investment in Sierra Leone s agriculture sector to date, and would provide a tangible example of successful investment in the country.
