Founded in 1974 by Jim and Dale Lawrence in Bluefield, Lawrence Brothers, Inc. began building mine battery trays for Exide Battery, today known as EnerSys. Forty-five years later, under the direction of husband-and-wife team Mark and Amalia Lawrence, the company has expanded to more than 80,000 square feet with over 40 employees.
