Clarios Celebrates 25 Years at St. Joseph Distribution Center

Clarios, a global frontrunner in low-voltage battery technology, proudly marks the 25th anniversary of its St. Joseph Distribution Center with a special Family Day event scheduled for May 17, 2025. This milestone is not just a celebration of company achievements but also an acknowledgment of the contributions made to both the workforce and the surrounding community.

The event will bring together over 240 employees and their families for a day filled with fun, food trucks, entertainment, and guided tours of the facility. To ensure the celebration runs smoothly, the distribution center will temporarily halt operations, reflecting the organization’s commitment to its employees. A program beginning at 11:00 AM will feature remarks from Jerimie Carson, the Plant Manager, highlighting the significant role the distribution center has played in the industry and its community.

Over the past decade, Clarios has invested nearly $200 million in its St. Joseph campus. This investment has supported upgrades in equipment and technology, improvements to facilities, and enhanced employee training programs. These efforts emphasize Clarios' commitment to operational excellence and a forward-thinking approach to sustaining its technology and workforce.

With more than 225 million batteries shipped since its inception, the St. Joseph facility exemplifies efficiency and reliability in the automotive supply chain. Clarios has become a trusted partner for major vehicle manufacturers and aftermarket customers, reinforcing its crucial role in the automotive industry. Marc Andraca, Vice President and General Manager for the US and Canada, remarked, "The work done at this facility plays a critical role in keeping America moving. If you've purchased a new vehicle or replaced a battery in the last 25 years, there’s a good chance it came from this very facility."

Beyond its business achievements, the St. Joseph Distribution Center is deeply invested in social responsibility. The team has actively collaborated with various local organizations, including United Way, Habitat for Humanity, and the Second Harvest Food Bank. Recently, they organized a food drive that successfully collected over 5,000 pounds of food to assist families in need. Clarios employees frequently volunteer to help build homes for underserved families, demonstrating the organization's commitment to making a tangible difference in their community.
