Global battery recycler Ecobat is selling its battery and lead processing facilities in Germany and Austria to Clarios, a specialist in energy storage solutions.
The deal includes Ecobat’s facilities in Freiberg and Braubach, Germany, as well as the Arnoldstein operation in Austria.
‘Upon completion, this transaction will enable Ecobat to concentrate its efforts on core recycling operations, as well as our global lithium-ion battery business,’ says company ceo Tom Slabe. ‘Ecobat will continue to pursue additional opportunities to maximise value for shareholders beyond these transactions.’
Strong foundation
According to Slabe, Clarios’ expertise and vision offer ‘a strong foundation for the continued success’ of the sites in Germany and Austria. ‘We are confident they will continue to foster and enhance the valued relationships we have built with our employees, customers and suppliers across Europe.’
The transaction is expected to close by early 2026.
