Connecticut Metal Industries (CMI), Ansonia, Conn., will be expanding its foil recycling facility into a 101-year-old brass mill in Ansonia. The expansion will revamp the 20,000-square-foot indoor operation by more than doubling its size.
CMI is located across near the Ansonia Brass & Copper Co., one of the country’s first reinforced concrete structures. The brass mill was built in 1909, and was constructed with the Ransome System, which used reinforced concrete and twisted steel bar.
The previous occupant of CMI’s facility was the Fluidyne Co., a manufacturer of brass plumbing parts. “The floors are still impregnated with brass turnings, a reminder of the long legacy of brass manufacturing in the Naugatuck River Valley,” says Tom Mele, CMI’s president. “We are delighted to continue Connecticut’s metalworking lineage in such an interesting building.”
Connecticut Metal specializes in recovering metal from all types of aluminum foil as well as paper and plastic foil laminates. In addition to its Ansonia processing operation, the company maintains a collection warehouse in Atlanta and two facilities in India.
