Top 5 Lead Refiner Suppliers in Saudi Arabia [2025]

In the heart of Riyadh Al-Saudi Recycling Tech has quietly become a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s lead recycling sector. Founded in 200, this family-run business started small—repairing basic metal crushers—but today, they’re known for end-to-end solutions that turn scrap lead into reusable resources.

What really sets them apart? Their lead acid battery breaking and separation system . If you’ve ever struggled with efficiently taking apart old car batteries (those heavy casings, toxic acid—it’s not easy!), you’ll appreciate how Al-Saudi’s system streamlines the process. It’s designed to handle everything from cracking open the battery cases to separating lead plates, plastic, and acid residue—all while keeping workers safe and emissions low.

Here’s a real-world example: Last year, they partnered with a Riyadh-based auto parts dealer that was drowning in old batteries. Within three months of installing Al-Saudi’s separation system and refinery machines, the dealer cut waste by 40% and started selling recycled lead to local foundries at a 15% profit margin. “We used to dread battery collection day,” the dealer’s operations manager told us. “Now it’s one of our most reliable revenue streams.”

Al-Saudi doesn’t just sell machines, either. Their team offers on-site training (in both Arabic and English) and 24/7 tech support—critical in a country where downtime can cost big money. It’s no wonder they’ve earned a reputation for being “the supplier that sticks around after the sale.”

If sustainability is your top priority, Arabian Eco Solutions in Jeddah should be on your radar. Founded in 2012 by a team of environmental engineers, they’ve built their brand around one mission: “Recycling without compromising the planet.” And when it comes to lead refining, that means going above and beyond Saudi environmental regulations.

Their star product? A blast furnace for lead battery recycling plant that’s designed to minimize emissions. Traditional furnaces can release harmful fumes, but Arabian Eco’s model uses a two-stage filtration system—first capturing particulates, then neutralizing gases like sulfur dioxide. It’s not just better for the air; it also means operators can meet strict industrial zone pollution limits without expensive add-ons.

Take their work with a Makkah-based recycling facility, for example. The plant was facing fines for exceeding sulfur emissions until they switched to Arabian Eco’s blast furnace. Six months later, their emissions dropped by 72%, and they even qualified for a government green energy subsidy. “We didn’t just fix a problem—we turned it into an opportunity,” the facility’s director said. “Now we market ourselves as ‘the cleanest lead recycler in the region.’”

What also impresses clients is Arabian Eco’s willingness to customize. Need a furnace that fits in a tight warehouse? They’ll adjust the dimensions. Want to integrate solar power to reduce grid dependency? Their engineers will design a hybrid system. It’s this flexibility that makes them a favorite among forward-thinking businesses.

Not every recycling operation has the space for massive industrial setups—and that’s where Gulf Green Machinery in Dammam shines. Since 2015, they’ve specialized in compact lead refinery machine equipment that delivers big results without taking up a whole warehouse. Think of them as the “small but mighty” option for workshops, auto repair shops, and small-scale recyclers.

One of their most popular tools is the portable lead briquetter—a tabletop machine that compresses lead scrap into dense, easy-to-melt briquettes. It’s perfect for businesses that collect small amounts of lead (like old battery plates or cable sheaths) but don’t want to deal with loose, messy scrap. “We have a client in Taif who runs a one-man auto shop,” says Gulf Green’s sales manager. “He uses our briquetter to turn his monthly battery scrap into neat little blocks. Now he can sell to refineries instead of paying to haul it away—and he makes an extra 2,000 SAR a month. That’s the kind of impact we love to see.”

Gulf Green also gets kudos for affordability. They offer flexible payment plans (a rarity in the industry) and even rent out equipment for short-term projects. For a new recycler testing the waters, that’s a game-changer. “We don’t believe in locking clients into huge upfront costs,” their website states. “Grow at your own pace—and we’ll grow with you.”

When it comes to handling massive volumes of lead scrap—think industrial-scale battery recycling plants or demolition waste—Riyadh Refinery Systems (RRS) is the name that comes up again and again. Founded in 2008, this Riyadh-based giant specializes in turnkey solutions: they’ll design your entire lead processing line, install it, train your team, and even help you optimize workflows for maximum efficiency.

Their claim to fame? A fully automated lead acid battery breaking and separation system that can process up to 2,000 kg of batteries per hour. Picture this: batteries are loaded onto a conveyor belt, crushed open by rotating blades, then sorted via air jets and magnets to separate plastic, lead, and acid. The acid is neutralized on-site, the plastic is shredded for recycling, and the lead plates go straight into a melting furnace. It’s a closed-loop system that minimizes human contact with hazardous materials—and it’s why RRS counts some of Saudi Arabia’s biggest waste management companies as clients.

Take their work with a Riyadh municipal recycling plant in 2023. The plant was struggling to keep up with the city’s growing battery waste (Saudi Arabia generates over 100,000 tons of lead-acid battery waste annually, according to recent reports). RRS installed a custom separation and refining line, and within six months, the plant’s processing capacity tripled. “We went from sending 30% of batteries to landfills to zero,” the plant manager told us. “And the recycled lead we sell now covers 40% of our operational costs. It’s been transformative.”

Yes, RRS’s equipment comes with a higher price tag—but clients say the ROI is worth it. “You’re not just buying machines,” one client put it. “You’re buying peace of mind that you can scale, comply with regulations, and turn waste into profit.”

Headquartered in Dammam, Eastern Lead Processing (ELP) has carved a niche in one of the trickiest parts of lead recycling: lead paste reduction . When you break down a lead-acid battery, the paste inside (a mix of lead oxide, sulfuric acid, and other compounds) is highly toxic and hard to process. ELP’s specialty is turning that paste into pure, usable lead—safely and efficiently.

Their secret? A rotary furnace designed specifically for paste reduction. Unlike traditional furnaces that can leave impurities, ELP’s furnace uses a slow-tumbling drum and precise temperature control to separate lead from sulfur and other contaminants. The result? Lead purity levels of 99.97%—good enough for use in new batteries, construction materials, and even medical equipment. “We had a client in Jubail who was stuck with tons of paste waste,” says ELP’s technical director. “They were paying to have it treated as hazardous waste. Now, with our furnace, they’re turning that paste into high-purity lead ingots and selling them to battery manufacturers. It’s like turning a liability into a goldmine.”

What also makes ELP stand out is their focus on training. They offer week-long workshops for operators, covering everything from furnace calibration to safety protocols. “A machine is only as good as the person running it,” says ELP’s founder. “We’ve seen too many companies buy top-tier equipment but fail because their team isn’t trained. We don’t let that happen.”

For businesses that deal with large amounts of battery paste (like auto parts retailers or battery manufacturers), ELP is a lifesaver. As one client put it: “Before ELP, paste was a problem. Now, it’s our most valuable product.”
