    Congratulations to our Monroe Team! This year, the President’s Safety Award – Small Yard was earned by our Monroe facility. The Monroe team earned this award by having a great attitude towards safety, welcoming the EHS Coordinator training and walkarounds, and being 4 years injury-free. Pictured from left to right are facility employees Chad Stricker, Facility Manager Sheila Fry, Doug Fry, Gary Pulver, and Joshua Reynolds. The President’s Safety Award is earned by the operations that show consistent dedication and improvements to safety at all levels within the operation. There are two categories: Large Processing Yard and Small Feeder Yard. The small feeder yard category includes all yards with limited processing equipment such as balers/shears and operate under 50 thousand production hours annually.

    Today, we celebrate the important contributions and achievements of our facility managers at Alter Trading Corporation. Our facility managers are the people who make sure our workers have the safest and best experience possible by coordinating the processes that make our operations succeed. They are the behind-the-scenes heroes – coming in early and staying late most days to take care of the people, the place, and the process behind what we do. Thank you to each of our managers at every location for keeping our facilities healthy, safe and productive. #WorldFacilityManagementDay

A safe workplace requires cooperation and communication from everyone, and our Omaha facility is a shining example of how our team members look out for each other, day in and day out.

    The St. Louis Office celebrated the career of CEO Jay Robinovitz with a special luncheon.   The entire Alter team isn’t quite buying Jay’s claim to be retiring, though it could just be we are all in extreme denial. We do know that we will miss working with an individual who has been both a mentor and a friend to so many in our company and in the metal recycling industry.   Jay, your acumen, character, and spirit shines through the whole operation, and will for decades, if not lifetimes to come. Thank you for all the hard work and great times you gave us.   Congratulations!
