Alcoa North American Rolled Products (NARP) has announced its Top Ten Scrap Suppliers for aluminum recycling for 2010. NARP also announced its "Most Improved" Scrap Supplier for the year.
Alcoa has been recognizing its top scrap aluminum suppliers for six consecutive years.
In announcing its top suppliers, Alcoa notes that its top suppliers are measured on the following criteria: safety, quality, volume and delivery performance. Alcoa says that the program has been a key component of its plan to sustain the flow of material for aluminum recycling as challenging business conditions limited some availability. Alcoa has applied the same high purchasing standards used for its supply base since the inception of the awards program.
"We look to continue with this proven strategy, as NARP Scrap Purchasing looks to the future to meet our growing demand for recycled aluminum for our North American facilities," says Leslie Shuman, director of Strategy and Supply Chain for NARP.
The 2010 Top Ten Scrap Suppliers to NARP are:
American Iron and Metal LP, Montreal
Kripke Enterprises Inc., Toledo, Ohio
Metal Exchange Corp, St. Louis
Greenway Industries Corp, Toronto
Metro Alloys Inc, East Point, Ga.
Omnisource / Omnisource SE Corp., Fort Wayne, Ind. and Lyman, S.C.
Service Aluminum Corp., Baltimore
