About 5300 years ago #copper and #tin were smelted into the first #alloy, kicking off the Bronze Age and revolutionizing the way humans lived.
About 20 minutes ago we started pouring another 52,000 pounds of it.

Of all the #copper used by mills, #ingot makers, foundries, powder plants and other industries, nearly three-fourths (72%) comes from recycled copper scrap. At Federal Metal, our #recycled content is 99.99%. Seriously, it`s so rare when we see newly mined copper that it`s almost a novelty!

It`s Monday! Meet Caleb.⠀
⠀
Newly engaged father of two, he`s FedMet`s most senior employee. He loves to hunt, fish and ride his ATV, but he often brings in a large home-cooked meal to share with the FedMet team too. A man of many talents! His title might be maintenance technician, but Caleb is really our #1 problem solver.

Almost five years ago, Federal Metal learned of the effort to secure the release of Ansly Damus from a NE Ohio I.C.E. detention facility as he awaited adjudication of his asylum claim. We reached out and offered him a job, and he`s been a valuable member of our team to this day. We`re overjoyed to see that he has finally been able to reunite with his family now too!⠀
