ALPHARETTA, GA -- Exide Technologies has announced the expansion of its supply agreement with CSK Auto.

As part of its expanded agreement, Exide will supply batteries to all Murray’s Discount Auto Parts Stores. Recently acquired by CSK, Murray’s is a 122-store operation with retail outlets in Michigan, Ohio and Illinois. Exide already supplies CSK-owned Checker Auto Parts, Kragen Auto Parts and Schuck’s Auto Supply locations. Exide will now also provide Murray’s with its full line of batteries for transportation and specialty applications. Products include the Exide Marathon and Autolite brands.

“The expansion of Exide’s supply agreement with all of CSK Auto’s 1,307 stores in 22 states – including the newly acquired 122 Murray’s stores – demonstrates that this very important customer has the utmost confidence in our technology and ever-increasing levels of quality and reliability,” said E.J. O’Leary, president of the Transportation-Americas business division for Exide Technologies. “At Exide, we know that CSK works hard to create a customer service-driven culture and offer high value to its customers. By supplying superior products and services, we’re helping CSK deliver on its mission.”

The new agreement continues a long-standing, successful relationship between Exide Technologies and CSK Auto, Inc. that began more than 20 years ago.
