The company says it currently has nine people employed at the site and plans to raise that figure to 15 next year.“This location strengthens our ability to meet customer demand, expands opportunities for skilled talent and reinforces this region’s role as a critical hub for scrap recycling,” says Noah Henson, president and CEO of NextGen. “We are not simply investing in a facility; we are investing in the future of this region, the strength of American industry and a more sustainable path forward for generations to come,” adds Henson.NextGen says operations at its Latrobe headquarters facility focus on superalloys while the the new West Mifflin location is dedicated to stainless steel.At the West Mifflin site, employees crush metal shavings, press scrap into bales, shear, torch-cut and prepare material to meet customer size specifications. NextGen says it also offers toll processing options at the new facility, which can handle 10,000 tons of metal per month and has 110,000 square feet of covered storage space.The site hosts a fleet of 50 roll-off containers and several trucks and has rail access via Union Railroad Co. business unit of Pennsylvania-based Transtar LLC.The West Mifflin site’s metals recycling history traces back to 1976, when Vac Air Alloys Corp. and its founder Daniel C. Weinstein opened it.That firm and the site were acquired by Keywell Corp. in 1987, That firm later conducted business as Keywell Metals and was acquired by Prophet Equity in 2014. That iteration of Keywell operated at the site until NextGen’s purchase of it this September.NextGen says its company name reflects its goal to be the next generation of scrap processors, adding that “metal runs in the family.”In the 1940s, Noah Henson’s great-grandfather was a union president at American Car and Foundry in Huntington, West Virginia, where his grandfather worked in production. His father and great-uncle went on to work at the Huntington nickel plant now known as Special Metals.The rest of the leadership team has similar roots, says the firm, including: chief operating officer Kris Brewer’s family at Bethlehem Steel in Johnstown, Pennsylvania; chief commercial officer Ryan Shoplik’s father with more than 40 years in the ferroalloys sector; and quality control manager Sarah Henson, Noah’s wife, who has a family background in machining, says the company.Those executives “now carry that legacy forward with more than 50 years of combined experience of their own in the metals industry,” states NextGen.Founded in September 2022, NextGen Alloy Recycling says it procures, processes and sells stainless steel and superalloy scrap from its two facilities, serving melt shops that supply the aerospace, medical and power generation markets.</div></body>
