Mallin Companies—a Kansas City, Mo., business that recycles insulated copper, aluminum wire and other materials—has just completed an expansion of its production line.

Mallin operates one of the country’s largest wire-processing facilities, with a special focus on nonferrous scrap material and wire chopping. The upgrades took about two years to plan and install and went online over the past few months. The company worked with longtime engineer Triple S Dynamics of Dallas.

The expansion not only increases capacity, it also allows the company to work with different kinds of materials.

“We are able to recycle a broader variety of materials through a versatile line that saves energy and maximizes value for our customers,” said Zachary Mallin, the company’s vice president and the fourth generation in the business.

“Beyond that, all components are refined and prepared to rigid specifications, resulting in products of the highest purity. What’s more, the by-product is reusable.”
