In 2017, BLM British Lead will celebrate its 85th birthday. The company has seen many significant changes within the industry, with legislation and within its own organisation during its time but none have been greater
than its acquisition by ECOBAT Technologies in 1994. ECOBAT Technologies are the world’s largest producer and recycler of Lead. The combined group recycles and processes in excess of one million tonnes of lead every year, primarily through recycling spent lead acid batteries. Having the strength of ECOBAT at its core has without doubt got BLM to where it is now.
