1963 Rose is Founded as an Electronics Distribution Company

Jack Logan, a well known electronics components rep and member of the Electronics Representatives Association (ERA) founds Rose as 'Rose Electronics Distributing.'

His mission is to help his customers scale production and reduce lead times by stocking critical components.

He names the company 'Rose' after his wife, Rose Logan

1988 Rose Becomes a Battery Company

After working in the business for many years, Jack's two daughters Leslie Logan and Paula Byassee become the leaders of Rose. They bring a new perspective and transition Rose from an electronics distribution company to a battery manufacturing company. They partner with Hawker Gates (acquired by Enersys) for Cyclon Batteries and PowerSonic for Lead Acid batteries and with Energizer and Duracell for Alkaline batteries

1994 Rose Is a First Mover In Lithium Batteries

At a time when other battery companies are hesitant to embrace lithium technologies, Rose builds an engineering team to adapt the new technology and becomes a leader in lithium based technologies, developing safe battery designs.

Rose partners with MoliCell and Sanyo (acquired by Panasonic) to become a factory authorized assembler of safe Lithium-Ion Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) battery packs.

Rose partners with Tadiran and Saft for Lithium Thionyl Chloride (Lisoci2) Batteries

2013 Introduction of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP)

Rose partners with A123 Systems to begin designing with the innovative 26650 Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP or LiFePO4) cell.

The relationship continues with LithiumWerks's acquisition of the technology.

2016 Rose Acquired

After 51 years of leadership by the Logan family, Leslie and Paula retire. They sell Rose to Itamar Frankenthal, an Electrical Engineer and fourth-generation manufacturer.

Mr. Frankenthal's great grandfather, Moses Frankenthal, started the family tradition of specialized manufacturing in the 1920s in Switzerland and Germany. His grandfather, Leo Frankenthal, expanded the family footprint to Asia and his father, Jeff Frankenthal ventured to the United States .

Itamar Frankenthal, brought together the Frankenthal family tradition of high-quality Swiss and German manufacturing and the Logan family's tradition of innovation and technology leadership, helping Rose's customers design and scale.

2017 Rose Acquires Energy Sales

Rose acquired Energy Sales, a leader in battery design and manufacturing for robotics, high-power and high-energy battery packs.

Energy Sales was founded in the heart of Silicon Valley in 1972 by Robert Wilke, an MIT graduate. As an engineer, Bob focused the business on custom design. After Bob's passing, the family wanted the company to continue it's tradition of partnering with engineers and sold the company to Rose.
