Luma was most recently president of Wabash Alloys, Wabash, Ind., where he had also served as a vice president and plant manager. He began his career as a laborer with Vulcan Materials, later becoming a foreman and plant superintendent with that company.
“We are delighted to have Denny head our team at Superior,” says OmniSource chairman and CEO Leonard Rifkin. “We are confident that, under his direction, the company will achieve its potential as an industry leader.”
The Superior Aluminum Alloys facility in New Haven, Ind., was constructed in the late 1990s. The facility processes aluminum scrap in three reverberatory furnaces capable of holding nearly 600,000 pounds of specialty alloy.
The company’s 100 employees produce aluminum ingot, sows and molten aluminum.
