Committed to our people, our partners, and the planet.

Lead enables virtually every aspect of our daily lives and helps to drive the global economy by supporting energy needs responsibly and providing much-needed jobs. Lead-based products are essential to trillion-dollar industries from automotive to data storage and from telecoms to renewable energy production.

The story goes further at Ecobat. We are a leader in recycling lead—keeping lead out of landfills—and we constantly strive to reduce emissions across our US locations. We’re also dedicated to the safety and well-being of our team members every single day. We invest approximately $20M annually to protect the planet and our people through health, safety, and environmental controls.

Team members are our top priority.

Team members are our top priority.

While all of our facilities are certified under ISO 45001 and our safety performance ranks in the top quartile in our industry, we seek to go beyond these benchmarks. Each of our locations have continuous improvement leaders, whose shared goal is to return employees home even safer than when they arrived – through safety knowledge gained that day. This is continuously underscored by our global safety campaign, “Protection Over Production.”

Well before team members can actually set foot on the job floor, they receive extensive onboarding and training related to safety, skills, and work habits. New employees wear different colored hard hats for at least the first six months, so their peers can identify and support them, which has proven to prevent incidents. Every employee, regardless of their position, has “Stop Work” authority if they identify a safety concern. This empowers our entire workforce and creates a safety-first culture.

Our facilities are certified internationally.
