ISRI TIRE SUMMIT: Vincent Honored by ISRI

Bill Vincent, CEO of Colt Inc., Scott, La., was honored by the Scrap Tire Processors Chapter of ISRI with its Service to Industry Award.

Vincent accepted the award at the ISRI Tire Recycling Business Summit, which took place in mid-September at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont, Ill.

Current ISRI Scrap Tire Processors Chapter President Troy Hess of Mahantango Enterprises Inc., Liverpool, Pa., said of Vincent “it was clear to the [awards] committee that one person stood out” to receive the Service to Industry Award. Hess also referred to Vincent as “the godfather of the [ISRI Scrap Tire Processors] chapter.”

Vincent has been a business owner and entrepreneur for 44 years, according to Hess, and has been involved in processing and recycling scrap tires since 1983. He “struggled through the formative early years of the industry,” according to Hess, before handing off day-to-day management of Colt Inc. to the next generation of his family, including his son Kip Vincent and daughter-in-law Sydney Vincent.

Vincent, along with several other tire recyclers, formed the National Association of Scrap Tire Processors in 1999, which merged into ISRI earlier this decade.
