Happy Friday!
Ever wonder where that beer bottle comes from? These molds can only cast glass so many times before we get our hands on them for tomorrow's #ingot.
From the Past. For the Future indeed.

Sophisticated cast #bronze #bells originated in China about 3000 years ago and the techniques quickly spread through Asia and Europe. At Federal Metal, we supply many of today's leading bell manufacturers who continue this millennia-long tradition.

Ever wonder what 1,000,000 #copper clad euro-cent coins looks like? Well, if you're artist Julia Bugram, you see them as a sculpture depicting a pair of holding hands to raise awareness about solidarity. This amazing work of art is on display in Vienna.⠀

It’s Monday! Meet Raghu.⠀
⠀
Raghunandan to be precise. Our resident production engineer works feverishly behind the scenes to help our customers (and our team) make better metal. He still dreams of being an F1 driver (or playing for Man U) but admits we’re a pretty decent fall back option.

The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries @isrinews reports that between 1.8 and 2 million tons of #copper are #recycled each year in the US. We're proud to have a meaningful slice of that pie go through our furnaces here at Federal Metal.⠀

It’s Monday! Meet Paul.⠀
⠀
Honestly, Paul is our resident McGuyver (for those old enough to get the reference). If it’s broke, he fixes it. If it ain’t broke, well, he can probably make it even better anyway. Super dedicated to his family, we're lucky to have Paul in the Federal Metal family.

Because #copper plays a crucial role in the delivery of #wind energy, some wind farms contain more than 300,000 feet of copper wire. We'll do the math: that's 57 miles!
