Alabama Graphite Corp. has appointed Randy A. Moore as strategic advisor.

Randy Moore is the former President of U.S. Department of Defense multi-chemistry battery manufacturer, EaglePicher Technologies, LLC. EaglePicher is the leading producer of high-reliability batteries and energetic devices for the defense, aerospace and commercial industries, and provides significant experience and broad capability in battery electrochemistry. Moore led EaglePicher for nearly eight years, until the end of 2015, overseeing significant growth and was directly responsible for EaglePicher’s 100,000-square foot Lithium Ion Center of Excellence manufacturing facility in Joplin, Missouri. Moore is currently the president and chief executive officer of U.S.-based ZAF Energy Systems, Inc., a company that develops and commercializes state-of-the-art, next-generation battery technologies, and is a founding member, former chairman, and current member of the board of directors of National Association of Advanced Technology Batteries International, a U.S.-based, not-for-profit trade association commercializing advanced electrochemical energy-storage technology for emerging, high-tech applications.

Moore brings more than 35 years of senior operational, defense and international experience to Alabama Graphite Corp. Prior to EaglePicher, Moore served as executive vice president and general manager of Kollsman, Inc., an operating unit of Elbit Systems that develops advanced avionics and electro-optic instruments and systems for aerospace, defense and medical applications. He also spent five years at Kaman Corporation where he ran a new strategic business unit providing aerospace structures for civilian OEMs and top DoD contractors and directly to DoD components. Moore also served in management and operations positions at Westinghouse, E-Systems/Raytheon and Lucent Technologies, where he oversaw numerous programs related to DoD programs in electromagnetics, energy storage, radio frequency and acoustic sensors, and communications.

A retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force, Moore spent a combined 27 years in the active and reserve Air Force where he served in various capacities, including contracting officer in the Office of Scientific Research and as a special agent in a counterintelligence capacity for the Office of Special Investigations. Moore completed his undergraduate degree in marketing and management at Texas Lutheran University and received his MBA from Southern Illinois University.

“I’d like to extend a very warm welcome to my fellow NAATBatt director Randy Moore. There is no one who understands the nuances of the U.S. DoD battery landscape as well as Randy. His vast experience and expertise will undoubtedly prove invaluable to AGC as we move forward with our ‘DoD First’ business strategy of marketing our American sourced and manufactured Coated Spherical Purified Graphite (CSPG) — trademarked as ULTRACSPG™ — for lithium-ion batteries to United States Department of Defense lithium-ion battery manufacturers and contractors. I cannot underscore the significance of Randy’s appointment as AGC’s strategic advisor,” said Donald Baxter, president, chief executive officer and executive director of Alabama Graphite.
