Echoing this proven strategy for continuous investments in our facilities and state-of-the-art fabrication technologies and equipment, Lawrence Brothers, Inc. remains at the forefront of the battery tray industry. Today, Lawrence Brothers is owned and operated by husband and wife team, Fernando Protti and Melanie Protti-Lawrence. Since arriving at Lawrence Brothers, Fernando and Melanie recognized that diversification was not only critical to growth, but to the very survival of the business many prior generations worked diligently to build. Continuing to deepen LBI’s roots in the mountains of Appalachia, their work and persistence have been essential in developing and diversifying business relationships for over a decade. The company portfolio now includes the manufacturing of motive power trays, ground support systems and transformer components such as core frames and electrical control panels.

Fernando and Melanie continue to further this strategic diversification throughout tenure as owners of LBI. Their experience in forging new business partnerships, while maintaining decades-old relationships will be key in continued growth. A keen eye for rising opportunities, coupled with the ability to lead a team of individuals who boast decades of experience in core competencies, the outlook for the company is not only positive, but exciting when it comes to expanding on its potential.
