Ace Green Recycling Inc., a Houston-based battery recycling technology solutions company, has announced progress in its global expansion strategy with equipment deployments across multiple international markets.
The company is preparing to ship equipment to Taiwan and Thailand and has commenced shipments to Armenia for two separate lead and lithium projects.
Taiwan operations
Ace Green says its next set of equipment for its Taiwan project with Acme Metal Enterprise is fully prepared, with equipment arrival and commercial deployment anticipated in early 2026. This shipment represents Phase 2 of Ace Green’s multistage deployment with Acme, expanding the company’s zero-emissions lead battery recycling capabilities at its Keelung City facility.
Ace and Acme expanded their long-term partnership in June through a new licensing agreement, which adds Ace's proprietary Grid Metallics Processing System (GMPS) to the Taiwan facility.
Ace Green says the Phase 2 deployment builds on the successful completion of Phase 1, when Acme began using Ace Green's Greenlead recycling technology to process lead batteries with an electric, zero Scope 1 emissions process.
Since Phase 1 commissioning, Acme has integrated Ace Green's system into commercial operations. Upon commissioning of Phase 2, Acme would have the capacity to produce refined lead and lead alloys from paste and metallics extracted from up to 60 million pounds of used lead acid battery scrap annually through Ace Green's technology, equivalent to about 2 million car batteries each year.
Thailand deployment
Ace Green says its GMPS recycling system for its Thailand facility remains on schedule, with equipment shipments targeted for January 2026 and deployment scheduled for March or April 2026.
The company says its Thailand project represents a key element in Ace Green's broader Asia expansion strategy and will deploy its low-temperature, zero Scope 1 emissions GMPS technology designed to recover lead alloys with high efficiency and minimal waste.
The facility will support the growing regional demand for sustainable battery recycling as Thailand continues to scale energy storage systems and mobility applications, Ace Green says.
Armenia projects underway
Ace Green shas begun shipping equipment for two recycling projects in Armenia, covering both lead-acid and lithium-ion battery processing systems.
The lead recycling system will ship in batches through December and January, while the lithium-ion recycling system was shipped in November. Commissioning and full commercial production for both facilities are targeted for April and May.
The company says these deployments build on its licensing agreements with Mel Metal LLC, a leading Armenian nonferrous recycler, and represent a key step in establishing sustainable zero Scope 1 emissions lead and lithium recycling capabilities in the southern Caucasus. Armenia serves as a hub for Ace Green's broader regional expansion into Georgia and as a gateway to European battery-materials markets.
“We are executing our vision to establish Ace as a global leader in advanced battery recycling solutions,” Ace Green CEO Nishchay Chadha says. “These deployments across Taiwan, Thailand and Armenia represent significant milestones in our international expansion strategy. Our electrified, zero-emissions systems are now proving their scalability across multiple geographies and chemistries, positioning Ace for the next phase of global growth.”
In addition to its international progress, Ace Green recently appointed industry veteran Rick Stollsteimer as senior vice president of operations to lead operational readiness at the company's flagship facility in Silsbee, Texas. Ace Green plans to deploy its lead-acid system at this facility, followed by its lithium iron phosphate focused lithium-ion system.
