It`s Monday! Meet Angela.⠀
⠀
It takes a certain mettle to account for all our metal—and Angela has it ten times over. Whether she’s championing philanthropic efforts, supporting her family, or keeping our accounting on point, Angela is always all in!

We love you so much #copper and #aluminum! Happy #ValentinesDay!

"Copper is so alive. It’s malleable and soft, but also stubborn. The harder it is worked, the more resilient it gets."⠀
⠀
Artists Hannah Plumb and James Russell are turning discarded #copper piping into something extraordinary. Their Copper Roots series transforms salvaged metal into illuminated sculptures—chandeliers, mobiles, and sconces that glow with new life. A stunning blend of craftsmanship and creativity!⠀

Did you know that #aluminum was only just discovered in 1825? Even though it was only discovered 191 years ago, it is the most abundant #metal available on earth and highly #recyclable. About two thirds of all the aluminum that has ever been produced is still in circulation!

You got `em. We want `em. And nobody is easier to do business with than us.

It’s Monday! Meet Chuck.⠀
⠀
As a production supervisor, Chuck knows a thing or two about patience—whether it’s keeping things on track at work or assembling the fine details of a model car at home. That same steady approach makes him a great mentor, training new team members at the bricker and saw. And as a lifelong Browns fan, well… talk about patience!

"Scrap in the hopper, the crucible glows,
Pourin’ liquid fire, where the red brass flows.
Add a little tin, get the mix just right,
Sweat on our brows in the furnace light."

The year is off to the races, but if it hasn’t started the way you hoped, it`s still plenty early to make a change. If you want to chart a new direction, consider setting a course for Federal Metal or FedMet. Hard work. Great reward. Awesome camaraderie. That`s what a #job on our team offers!

Always something really interesting to see around here. #prettycool

Last Friday, we celebrated the retirement of Warren Plesmid, marking the end of his 17-year career at Federal Metal. Warren was an exceptional Process Engineer with wide ranging expertise, and at different times also served as Project Manager, EHS Manager, and Product Group Manager. His influence is everywhere—from our ACR processing lines to combustion systems and rotary furnaces, and even the dedicated maintenance building and new locker room.⠀
⠀
But perhaps his greatest legacy is that his family remains part of the company, with his son Max and wife Anne still on the team.⠀
⠀
Wishing you a well-earned retirement, Warren!

It`s Monday! Meet Ken.⠀
⠀
It’s one thing to be a force. It is something entirely different to be a force multiplier. Whether fostering relationships with suppliers across the country, or painstakingly training new #metal sorters, Ken gets the most from himself and those around him every day. His influence is so pronounced you’d think we employed 5 Kens! But alas he’s a one and only.
