The company is known for its exceptional service and community involvement. They will remain in leadership roles, ensuring that they continue to be actively engaged in the operations of the company.
Clint Cornejo noted, "We have always believed that scrap metal recycling is a local business. SMI shares that belief and possesses a strong commitment to local teams and investment in community resources." This mutual understanding is expected to enhance the collaborative efforts between Allmetal and SMI.
Broader Services for Clients and Customers
