American-owned lithium-ion battery recycler American Battery Metals Corporation has named Andrés Meza as its new chief operating officer.
Meza (pictured) will lead the firm’s efforts to grow and move through the construction, commissioning and operations of its first lithium-ion battery recycling facility in Nevada, US.
The company chose Meza because of his “direct hands-on experience” with the operations of manufacturing facilities and high-growth start-ups.
