Spectro Alloys recently hosted a 50th anniversary celebration, bringing employees, friends, and family together.
We’ve accomplished a lot at Spectro Alloys since our founding in 1973, including recycling nearly 6 billion pounds of aluminum. This year marks a major milestone – 50 years of operation – and we wouldn’t be where we are today without our hardworking employees.
So, we thought – why not throw a party to celebrate them?
In September, we brought Spectro employees, friends and family members together at our facilities in Rosemount to commemorate our 50th anniversary. Attendees donned yellow hard hats to take tours of our plant, socialized and enjoyed refreshments, and played yard games like bean bag toss and football. Kids also enjoyed a bounce house and free rides in our customized Polaris ATV, which contains about 80 pounds of recycled Spectro metal!
At Spectro Alloys, our employees are the heart of the company. They enable us to be an industry leader in aluminum recycling and the largest operation of its kind in Minnesota.
Our facilities received several updates this year that benefit employees, including a new conference room, breakroom, and putting green that can be used by both staff and visitors. We also recently announced a $71 million expansion at our Rosemount facility, which will not only expand our recycling capabilities but also create 50 new full-time jobs.
There’s a lot to be excited about as we celebrate 50 years of contributing to the world’s greatest recycling success story, and we can’t wait to see what the next 50 will bring!
Congratulations to our Director of Supply Chain, Renee Toy, on being named president of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) Upper Midwest Chapter.
