ANAHEIM, Calif. (July 23, 2018)Dennis Sharpe, director of Global HME Business for MK Battery, has announced that he will retire as of August 31, 2018, closing out a 32-year career with the company. He plans to focus on his passion outside of the battery business, marketing his own brand of fine wines on the Central Coast of California. 

According to Wayne Merdinger, executive vice president and general manager, “Dennis has been the heart and soul of our mobility business and has earned his place as a true legend in the industry. He helped pioneer the evolution from flooded automotive types to sealed VRLA batteries for use in wheelchair applications. Since then, he has continued to cultivate customer relationships, represent MK Battery on international wheelchair standards committees, advocate for the industry on Capitol Hill, provide technical knowledge about batteries to industry stakeholders, and serve as an integral member of our senior management team. We ask all our friends to join us in wishing Dennis the very best of health and happiness in the next exciting chapter of his story.”
