Rosemount-Based Aluminum Recycler Began Production at New Expanded Facility

The facility is expected to reach full production capacity in the initial quarter of 2026.

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): Minnesota's recycling industry will benefit greatly from EGA Spectro Alloys' announcement that it has begun production at its newly expanded, state-of-the-art aluminum recycling facility.

In order to create a waterfront dock for Dock Rite in Hutchinson, Minnesota, the facility's first recycled billets were sent to Crown Extrusion in Chaska, Minnesota. From there, they will be built into sustainable docks.

The 90,000-square-foot factory will create up to 120 million pounds of recycled aluminum billets annually from scrap aluminum, according to a company news release. The expansion project's metal will be offered for sale under EGA's RevivAL recycled product brand.

A brand-new, top-notch laboratory at the EGA Spectro Alloys facility will guarantee that clients obtain the best recycled aluminum at exacting standards.

Up to 50 full-time jobs are anticipated to be added once the plant reaches full production capacity in the first quarter of 2026.

According to Luke Palen, President of EGA Spectro Alloys, who commented on the historic accomplishment, the expansion will allow the company to manufacture high-quality, recycled billet in America and support a circular economy both locally and nationally.
