The David J. Joseph Co. (DJJ), based in Cincinnati, has announced that it has been named the Aluminum Scrap Supplier of the Year at the second annual American Metal Market Awards for Aluminum Excellence ceremony, which was June 12.
Terry Rath, vice president of DJJ’s metals group, accepting the award for the company, said, “It is a distinct honor for DJJ to receive this award. I am proud of the work that my colleagues at the DJJ family of companies do every day. This award is a tribute to our strong focus on safety and our continuous commitment to our customers, products and value-added services.”
The 2012 Aluminum Excellence Awards program recognized companies for efforts to improve competitiveness and demonstrate excellence in their operations. Scrap companies nominated for the award were judged in the areas of customer service/support and continuous improvement initiatives, the adoption/implementation of anti-theft, mercury-switch removal and radiation-detection measures, and environmental compliance and safety performance for 2011 compared with 2010.
DJJ operates 68 scrap recycling facilities and 15 nonferrous and ferrous metals brokerage offices, including operations in Hong Kong and Switzerland. DJJ also operates seven do-it-yourself auto parts retail operations, known as U-Pull-&-Pay.
