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

⠀
Fiber optics isn’t the only game in town when it comes to high-speed #data. Thanks to advances in structured wiring, twisted pairs of #copper can now support speeds up to 10 gigabits per second.⠀

Big news from Federal Metal.⠀
⠀
Hydrogen, we respect your work—but it’s time. After 112 years of championing #copper, we’re making it official: we’ve submitted a petition to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) to reassign copper’s atomic number.⠀
⠀
Why? Because copper isn’t just #29 to us—it’s #1 in conductivity, recyclability and the future of the #GreenEconomy.⠀
⠀
Stay tuned. We’ll keep you posted.⠀

It’s Monday! Meet Paul.⠀
⠀
Operating our foundry safely is Job #1. And this requires diligent attention to maintenance. We are lucky to have Paul as part of a great team that performs these critical maintenance tasks on a 24/7 basis. His devoted family calls him Paul, but we call him McGuyver.

When scrap becomes art. 🔥⠀
⠀
Our great friend and professional photographer John Carlson—the eye behind many of the images you see here in our social feeds—recently featured these stunning shots of our #ACR bales in the @ccs_detroit Faculty Exhibition in Detroit. Printed as a metal triptych, they bring industrial texture to gallery walls—and we couldn’t be more proud he chose these works to put on display!⠀
⠀
Big thanks to John and @carlsonproductionsllc for always making us look good. #MetalMeetsArt

It’s Monday! Meet Shirley.⠀
⠀
If you’ve been to FedMet Arkansas, you’ve met Shirley—because everyone meets Shirley. She keeps our operations humming, our people safe, and every truck, packing list and piece of paperwork in check. And if a trucker shows up with a dog? Well, everything else can wait—because that pup is getting a proper welcome! Outside of work, Shirley’s all about family, whether it’s a night in with her niece or a night out in North Little Rock.

Copper has been valued by humans for over 5,000 years. The discovery of Ötzi the Iceman, a well-preserved mummy from around 3300 BCE, revealed a copper axe with a blade composed of 99.7% pure #copper. This find highlights copper`s long-standing significance in human history.⠀
