Carpenter Metal Solutions adds to staff

Carpenter Metal Solutions Inc., Alliance, Ohio, has expanded its staff with the addition of a vice president of ferrous metals and a commercial scrap buyer.

 

Jerry Hickman has joined the Carpenter Metal Solutions team as its vice president of ferrous metals.  Hickman began his career in scrap metal recycling in July 2005 at Youngstown Iron and Metal as director of marketing and business development. He would later join The Timken Co. in 2008 to build a scrap management business to control internally generated scrap metal byproducts. He will oversee the ferrous division as well as develop Carpenter Metal Solutions' interdivisional “Total-Source” recycling initiative to national accounts.

 

Additionally, Jason Pihlblad has joined the company as a commercial scrap buyer. In 2004 Pihlblad began his career in the recycling industry at Annaco Metallica, spending the next 12 years learning all aspects of the recycling industry. During that time, he built strong relationships throughout the industry, according to Carpenter Metal Solutions. Following that stint, Pihlblad worked with two local recyclers, building their industrial base, including specialty and high-temperature alloys, across North America.  He will manage Carpenter Metal Solutions’ Industrial and commercial development and assist in the development of national accounts.

Carpenter Metal Solutions has locations in Alliance and in Fort Payne, Alabama. The company offers scrap management programs for commercial generators as well as capital equipment financing and leasing.
