The battery recycling company Retriev Technologies, Anaheim, California, has named Joseph Acker Jr. president of the company’s North American operations. Acker has more than 25 years of experience in the battery recycling sector, including being part of the team that developed Exide Technologies’ battery recycling operations as well as working with Johnson Controls on its global recycling efforts.
As president of Retriev Technologies, Acker will direct all facets of Retriev’s operations, including plant management, recycling line construction, technology research and development, customer acquisition and business development, according to the company.
“I am excited to be part of the Retriev team and I look forward to working in this dynamic and changing market,” says Acker. “Retriev is on the cutting edge of bringing new recycling technologies to the forefront and I am honored to have been asked to lead the way.”
Steven Kinsbursky, former president of Retriev Technologies, will remain with the company as CEO.
