SNEAK PEEK: Our new distribution center is almost complete

Earlier this summer, the Dakota County Tribune toured our plant and learned about our new 70,000-square-foot distribution center. Read the full story here. The new facility – primed to be operational any day now – will be the center of our cooling and shipping processes. I’m proud that the idea for this more efficient cooling and storage area came from within our team. Instead of taking up space in the production area, finished ingots will cool in the distribution center until they’re ready to be shipped to our customers. While they’re cooling, we’ll capture the heat generated to keep our facility warm in the winter. It also streamlines our processes and creates a more comfortable environment for our team. 

To everyone who contributed to this project: thank you! Our team members are always striving to improve the way we recycle aluminum at Spectro Alloys and it makes a real difference in our business.
