Horsehead Holding Corp., the parent company of Horsehead Corp., closed on its acquisition of INMETCO, a recycler of metals-bearing wastes in North America.
INMETCO, based in Ellwood City, Pa., operates the only secondary smelter in North America dedicated to recycling nickel, chromium and other metals from hazardous and non-hazardous wastes generated mostly by stainless steel and specialty metals producers.
INMETCO also processes nickel-cadmium batteries, and its process has been recognized by the U.S. EPA as the Best Demonstrated Available Technology for the recycling of NiCd batteries.
In conjunction with the closing, Mark Tomaszewski, the acting president of INMETCO, has been appointed to serve as INMETCO's president going forward.
"I am pleased to announce the appointment of Mark to the position of President of INMETCO," said Jim Hensler, chairman, president and CEO of Horsehead. "Mark brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of the company and its business to the table and I look forward to Mark being an important part of the Horsehead team going forward," Hensler further noted.
