Clarios invests $1B to build critical minerals processing and recovery plant in the United States
Clarios, a manufacturer and recycler of low-voltage batteries, has announced plans to build a critical minerals processing and recovery plant in the United States. The company plans to invest up to $1 billion in the project.
Clarios has completed preliminary site assessments and is currently evaluating potential locations in Indiana, Texas, and Utah. The new facility will process critical minerals, including antimony, which are essential to the production of defense-related equipment such as ammunition, night vision goggles, infrared sensors, and precision optics.
The plant will use advanced technologies to extract antimony and other critical minerals from recycled materials, enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of the recycling process. Clarios' strategy supports recent executive orders and will utilize federal advanced manufacturing tax credits to bolster the domestic supply chain. The site is expected to serve as a hub for future investments in advanced battery manufacturing and technology development.
