Lithium-ion battery recycling and critical mineral extraction for EV and energy storage
American Battery Technology operates recycling and primary extraction facilities for battery metals, serving the EV and grid-storage supply chains. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward manufacturing operations (MES, SCADA, PLC, SAP) with statistical analysis tools (Minitab, JMP), signaling a process-heavy, data-driven manufacturing culture. Active hiring skews engineering and manufacturing (20 of 30 open roles), with a pilot-scale focus reflected in projects around process scaling, OEE improvement, and first-of-a-kind facility design—typical of an operations-constrained business moving from bench to production.
American Battery Technology Company recycles lithium-ion batteries and extracts critical metals for use in electric vehicles, grid storage, and consumer electronics. Founded in 2011 and publicly traded on NASDAQ, the company operates recycling plants and primary resource extraction facilities in the United States. The business spans battery recycling process design and optimization, primary mineral resource development, and manufacturing operations scaled across multiple sites. Current focus includes expanding recycling capacity, improving equipment uptime and process performance, and implementing integrated manufacturing execution systems across operations.
Manufacturing-focused: SAP (ERP), MES (production control), SCADA and PLC (equipment automation), plus Minitab and JMP for statistical analysis. Office tools include Tableau and Power BI for reporting; CAD/design tools include AutoCAD, Revit, and SolidWorks.
Primary focus: battery recycling process expansion and commissioning, MES system integration, process scaling from pilot to production, OEE improvement, and reducing equipment downtime. Also developing primary resource extraction systems leveraging solids, liquid, and gas processing.
