History 1923 Sam Kinsbursky established an independent scrap - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

• 1977 Business relocated to Anaheim where it remains today.
• 1989 Kinsbursky Brothers becomes the first and only permitted

battery recycling facility in California.

• Today the Kinsbursky family is still actively involved in the day to

day operations and guiding the next generation towards the future.

• 1923 Sam Kinsbursky established an independent scrap collection

business in Los Angeles using a horse and wagon.

• 1929 the business begins collecting scrap in a motorized vehicle.
• 1957 Kinsbursky Brothers is incorporated in East Los Angeles on a

30,000 ft2 facility.

1993 Retriev developed the 1st commercial facility to recycle primary lithium

• batteries. This hydrometallurgical

process converts lithium metal to lithium carbonate. 1995 Purchased 65 million pounds of lithium hydroxide monohydrate from the US Department of Energy. Established Ohio operations. 1997 Awarded $10 million contract by US Navy to recycle 5000 Minuteman Extended Survival Power Batteries (MESP). Most powerful battery every made. Project completed in 2002.

History

2002 Launched Li-Ion battery recycling in Trail, BC. 2005 Began Lead Acid Battery Recycling in Ohio. 2006 Established BDAT system for cadmium containing batteries (NiCad). 2009 Received $9.5 Million DOE grant to build dedicated facility for end of life hybrid and EV batteries.
