Wise Alloys, LLC has sold its machine shop to a new Wise Metals Group business, Listerhill Total Maintenance Center, LLC.
The Total Maintenance Center will operate as a separate business from the Wise Alloys aluminum facility and will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Wise Metals Group, the parent company of Wise Alloys.
“The maintenance center was built in the 1960s by Reynolds to service its large manufacturing complex,” said Horace Crowden, president of the new maintenance center. “It is one of the largest facilities of its type in the Southeast.”
It consists of more than 180,000 square-feet of shop space and equipment, Crowden said, and will service Wise Alloys but its major growth will come from businesses other than Wise Alloys.
“We believe that there is a significant opportunity for a large facility of this type in our region and envision growing this business from the current handful of people to well over 100 employees,” said Crowden. “We’ve already added 13 jobs to this operation here as we’ve gone through the process of setting up the new business.”Latest from Recycling Today
