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.

Around here, we’ve got a soft spot for jersey number 29. And we’re in good company—some serious legends have worn it:

Rod Carew
John Smoltz
Catfish Hunter
Satchel Paige
Tony La Russa
Tommy Lasorda
Harold Baines

And how can we not mention Dan Plesac—reliever, All-Star, and one of the best to ever rock the bullpen!

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.
