Acquisition strengthens Concentric’s footprint across Florida with material handling and warehouse equipment provider

February 4, 2021
No Comments

PERRYSBURG, Ohio – February 4, 2021 — Concentric, LLC,  the nation’s largest forklift power and maintenance organization, has acquired Southern States, Inc., a leading Florida provider of forklift power, docks, doors, racking, storage and other warehouse equipment needs. This acquisition will strengthen Concentric’s presence across Florida, expanding the company’s footprint in a state where Southern States companies have served manufacturers and distributors for twenty years.

“We are building the nation’s largest power and maintenance organization.  We offer unique solutions, including ‘forklift power as a service’ to give customers total control over their material handling equipment, so they can refocus on their core business. We are excited to welcome the Southern States team and extend our service footprint across Florida,” said Concentric President, John Shea.  

“Our team has built a suite of services to solve a warehouse’s key equipment, space and material flow problems. Our partnership with Concentric expands those services with existing customers while helping them gain consistent excellence nationwide. Concentric solutions, like GuaranteedPOWER® and emerging battery technologies, drive out cost while improving safety and efficiency,” says Southern States President and CEO Jeff Fischer. “We are pleased to bring our talents into alignment with Concentric to accelerate growth and customer success.”

Concentric is an OnPoint Group company, a group that is revolutionizing how industries manage their material handling needs as well as critical facility services.

“Supply chains are more complex than ever, but material handling and facility services don’t have to be. Distributors, manufacturers and retailers want to outsource critical but non-core processes, assets and maintenance, and we’ve built a nationwide team to do just that.  We are excited to have Southern States join us in delivering consistent productivity, safety and cost reduction for Fortune 5000 customers,” said OnPoint Group CEO, Tom Cox.
