SUMTER COUNTY, FL (352today.com) – Trademark Metals Recycling (TMR) and Sumter County Economic Development (SCED) held a ribbon-cutting ceremony that officially opened the company’s new 100,000-square-foot advanced metal recovery facility in Sumter County.
Dignitaries from the Sumter County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Bushnell, and other partners attended the ribbon-cutting event. The new facility, which encompasses several buildings, will utilize the latest recycling industry technology to produce raw materials that will re-enter the global supply chain and advance global environmental sustainability.
“We are very fortunate to have a partner such as TMR investing in our community,” said Vice Chairman Jeffrey A. Bogue. “The technology that TMR is bringing to this community will create long-term high-paying jobs while providing for sustainability in the recycling industry.”
The capital investment in the TMR facility is approximately $150 million, not including the land purchase. The facility employs 67 staff members across two shifts and works with various contractors to meet its operational needs.
Trademark Metals Recycling, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The David J. Joseph Company (DJJ), one of the USA’s largest scrap brokers/processors. DJJ is part of Nucor Corporation’s family of companies, North America’s largest recycler.
Several years of planning and cooperation between TMR’s management team, SCEC, SECO Energy, and the City of Bushnell preceded today’s ribbon-cutting event.
