Viridi Parente, Inc

Viridi designs and builds fail-safe battery systems that are redefining energy storage and powering the transition to renewable energy, providing on-demand, affordable power for use in industrial, medical, commercial, municipal and residential building applications.

Viridi’s Green Machine systems provide fully renewable mobile energy solutions to products in construction equipment, waste disposal, last-mile delivery, and other portable industrial markets.

The company is based in Buffalo, New York, the birthplace of commercial electricity, on a 42-acre campus that was once a GM manufacturing facility. Through its recruiting agency, GreenForce, Viridi is bringing green jobs and workforce training opportunities to one of the nation’s most impoverished zip codes while also serving as a model of how adaptive reuse projects can spur the economy and revitalize communities.
