Beck Aluminum Acquires Wisconsin Assets of Met-Al

Beck Aluminum, a Cleveland-based aluminum manufacturer, recycler, and distributor, has acquired the Racine, Wis., assets of the former Met-Al Inc. foundry.

“We are very pleased with the addition of the quality foundry alloy products from Racine. It strengthens our Midwest presence to better serve the market. By combining Beck’s strengths with Racine’s production capabilities and location, we will more effectively meet our customer’s needs and this moves us another step forward in our recycling growth strategy,” says Scott Beck, president of Beck Aluminum.

Beck currently operates manufacturing facilities in Lebanon, Pa., imports primary aluminum and alloy through its trading arm, and is the largest distributor of foundry ingot in the United States.

“This is a great opportunity for our skilled employees to continue producing alloy for our loyal customers as well as expand with new Beck customers,” says Bob Lee, former Met-Al president.

Met-Al, in operation since 1976, is a secondary alloy producer.
