Flooded Lead Acid Battery Industry News
In May 2026, Clarios extended its recycling network in Europe by acquiring three facilities from Ecobat Batteries for the recycling of batteries in Germany and Austria. This will increase the company’s closed-loop battery supply chain and circular economy capabilities through the incorporation of three plants, which include Freiberg and Braubach plants from Germany and Arnoldstein plant from Austria. The acquisition will help Clarios to effectively recycle critical battery components such as lead and polypropylene and use them to produce new batteries.
In April 2025, EnerSys increased their manufacturing capabilities through moving the production process of the flooded lead-acid batteries from the plant in Monterrey, Mexico to Richmond, Kentucky as a move to restructure its operations. In addition, EnerSys will be investing USD 4.5 million in increasing the production capacity of the flooded lead-acid batteries at their Bielsko-Biala, Poland factory. The restructuring is set to provide cost savings, improve supply chain security and deliver annual pre-tax savings starting in the fiscal year 2027.
