Antonio Mendonca began his career in the battery industry in 1991 and has served as Director of Engineering at Concentric since 2005. Throughout his tenure, he has helped transform the way organizations view forklift power, championing an approach that treats power as a critical component of overall equipment productivity rather than simply a battery attached to a forklift.

Under Antonio's leadership, Concentric's engineering team has successfully converted innovative concepts into practical solutions that deliver measurable customer value. One example is POWERHIVE®, a groundbreaking power management system that earned the MHI 2025 Best Innovation of an Existing Product Award. Antonio remains passionate about developing technologies that improve productivity, enhance safety, and drive operational efficiency across material handling operations.
