Triathlon Battery Solutions, a subsidiary of Germany-based Triathlon Betterien GmbH, leased 19k SF in Coppell to be the company's new US HQ (and first US location!). Addison-based Biel Partners brokered the deal. Jeremy Kelly and Ryan Boozer of Stream Realty represented the landlord, ML Realty Partners.

Triathlon has already moved into the space at 631 Southwestern Blvd, Suite 140, and will have a grand opening in October. Biel Partners president John Bielamowicz (pictured during a quiet moment honoring Dallas PD earlier this week) said in a statement that the undisclosed landlord remained interested in Triathlon's processes and safety measures when others shied away.

Triathlon president Taylor Frederickson credits Dallas/Fort Worth's growing market and convenient location for the move. The company supplies clients with a range of lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries to power equipment such as forklifts, pallet jacks, industrial trucks and mobile lifting platforms.
