Scepter, Inc

Scepter was founded in 1986 by Garney B. Scott Jr. with the formation of Scepter Industries. The company continued acquisitions and mergers throughout the late-1980s and the 1990s with each new company taking the Scepter brand. Its subsidiaries are involved in recycling metal, processing aluminum scrap into reusable material, hardwoods, sales and training and castings. In July 1997, Scepter, Scepter Industries and Scepter Ingot Casting became Scepter. In February 1999, the Waverly, Tenn., company began operation of its new state-of-the-art Greenfield facility in Seneca Falls, N.Y., which recycles aluminum, dross, scrap, fines and turnings and converts the metal into 1500 pound remelt scrap ingot and molten aluminum. Scepter Aluminum Co. in Saguenay, Quebec, processes dross and scrap by using a plasma furnace.
