As the U.S. pushes for energy independence and domestic manufacturing resilience, one sector is leading the way: battery recycling. At American Li-ion, we’re not only reclaiming critical materials—we’re creating lasting, high-paying careers for hardworking Americans.
With operations based in Atoka, Oklahoma and expansion underway in McAlester, American Li-ion is on track to create 250–300 new jobs across engineering, chemistry, skilled labor, executive leadership, and support roles. These aren’t just jobs—they’re careers, with upper-level salaries averaging $95,000 per year. From chemists refining black mass into high-purity pCAM, to engineers overseeing modular technology systems, our growing team represents the future of American manufacturing.
And we’re just getting started. Our upcoming Project Lazarus facility will be the largest domestic battery materials production plant in North America, with the capacity to process 60,000 metric tons of material annually. This expansion is not only projected to generate $600 million in annual revenue, but also to revitalize the local economy through job creation, infrastructure investment, and long-term community partnerships.
As the battery industry grows, so does the need for a skilled American workforce. American Li-ion is answering the call—developing talent, training the next generation, and building a future where energy independence starts with jobs made in the USA.
