Shapiro Metals opens second Alabama facility
<![CDATA[Shapiro Metals, a St. Louis-based nonferrous scrap metal recycling firm, has expanded its operations in the United States with the opening of a new facility in Decatur, Alabama. 

The new 20,000-sqaure-foot facility, located at 815 Old Trinity Rd., is the company’s 11th full-service location and its second plant in Alabama. The company’s other Alabama facility is in Mobile. Shapiro Metals says no retail services will be offered at the location. 
 
Bruce Shapiro, president and CEO of Shapiro Metals, says, “We made the decision to open our facility in Decatur because we saw a need from manufacturers in the region to receive high-quality services and recognized a customer base that appreciates ‘Partnering With Integrity.’ That said, the plan for continued expansion in the northern Alabama area is important to us, and being local is our commitment to providing ‘Lean Recycling.’” 

The Decatur facility will focus exclusively on recycling metals collected from industrial accounts in aerospace, trailer manufacturers, the automotive industry and medical devices. Equipment at the site will include a baler, roll-off containers and other nonferrous scrap processing equipment. 
 
With the opening of the facility in Decatur, Shapiro Metals says is made a donation to the local One Vision Foundation, a nonprofit whose mission is to advocate and encourage economic growth and promote an environment in which businesses can prosper, regarding education, housing and people development. 

Shapiro Metals operates 11 recycling centers in the U.S., including in St. Louis and Springfield, Missouri; Dickson, Tennessee; Fitzgerald, Georgia; McAllen, Denton and El Paso Texas; Green Bay, Wisconsin; Mobile and Decatur, Alabama; and Wichita, Kansas. 

The company is one of the 20 largest nonferrous scrap processors in North America.
