Clarios is also in the site selection and engineering phase for a planned Greenfield site in the U.S. focused on battery recycling and critical mineral processing.

In addition, Clarios is implementing A.I., automation, and capacity upgrades at its existing facilities in Mexico to increase throughput and efficiency.

Clarios said the initiatives are part of its US$6 billion American Energy Manufacturing Strategy and would provide additional recycling capacity of up to 400,000 metric tons.

Brookfield's share price rose 2.7% on Monday to C$44.10 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
