Not that we`re paying attention or anything. OK, yea, we really are. With the opening of our cutting-edge new #ACR processing facility in #Arkansas this summer, we`re officially in the #aluminum business now too.

It`s Monday! Meet Kyle.⠀
⠀
Can you name a general manager who is as comfortable sawing logs on his property in Hot Springs as he is riding Alpe d’Huez? We can. Kyle Landrum. Whether on a tractor at his homestead, on a tow motor at Federal Metal, or straddling a carbon road bike frame in the Alps, Kyle always operates in high gear.

Excited to announce that #aluminum industry veteran Scott Woods has joined Federal Metal as lead buyer of aluminum copper radiators (ACRs) to supply our multiple processing facilities. His tremendous skill, experience, judgement and relationships will further strengthen our already-talented commercial team.

Huge news for Federal Metal today! In response to the growing demand for refined #copper and 1100 #aluminum, we are opening a new, much larger facility in North Little Rock, #Arkansas to expand our processing capacity of post-consumer aluminum copper radiators (ACRs) and production of our proprietary PSA®020 Aluminum and high-grade copper products.
Special thanks to the Arkansas Economic Development Commission for all their help in this venture.

It`s Monday! Meet Dennis.⠀

AKA Bubba. Chef. Outdoorsman. Volunteer. Storyteller. Navy vet. Phillies phan. Oh, and he`s also a great leader in our receiving department, overseeing more than 1 million pounds of inbound scrap every week. We`re lucky to have such a quick thinker and strong problem solver on our team.

Copper makes the world go `round!
Well, in our eyes it sure does. Seriously, take away all the #copper and imagine what that looks like.

Our #maintenance team continues to grow in both numbers and expertise. To improve efficiency and safety, they now have their own building: 5,700 sq. feet of warm, well lit, quiet workspace. We give thanks to the team that fixes that which we cannot fix!

Great people know great people. That`s why we incentivize our team to refer their friends and colleagues. Any new #hires, referred by a current team member, that remain #employed for 90 days earn the referrer a $500 bonus. When they make it to 180 days, that`s worth another $500!

Demonstrating our long-term commitment to the environment and responsible #metal #recycling, we recently installed a new 60,000 CFM baghouse at our Ohio plant. Improving air quality and reducing #emissions is another step toward the never ending goal to always improve.
