Real Alloy, a Beachwood, Ohio-based operator of several secondary aluminum production plants, has promoted chief operating officer (COO) Russell Barr to CEO, replacing Terrance J. Hogan, who has been CEO for nearly a decade.
According to an early February LinkedIn post from Real Alloy, Barr will assume the CEO role March 31. He currently holds both the COO and an executive vice president title and is a 25-year veteran of the aluminum and automotive industries.
Hogan is retiring after a 36-year career with Real Alloy and its predecessor companies, including Aleris and Alumitech.
Real Alloy bills itself as a “world leader in third-party aluminum recycling," with 24 facilities in six countries throughout Europe and North America.
On its website, the firm lists locations in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and West Virginia, plus Canada and Mexico.
“Real Alloy plays a crucial role in contributing to a circular economy by recycling aluminum and transforming it into new materials for industrial production," the company says.
