We started with a clean sheet of paper, a list of ‘what ifs’ and 11 acres of prime industrial land. Many months later, the result is a remarkable new 240,000 sq ft facility that effectively redefines what a metal recycling operation should be. We’ve eliminated the congestion, dust, noise and poor lighting conditions typically associated with our industry, and in doing so created an architectural expression of our core values and commitment to revolutionizing how scrap metal recycling is perceived.
