Scepter employs some of the industry's best talent.  While we are proud of our proprietary technology and innovation, our people's ability to leverage and use that technology allows us to achieve our industry-leading results.Scepter' refers to the 'Scepter Group*,' a collection of legally separate, independent companies affiliated through various relationships with Scepter, Inc., a privately held business corporation founded by Garney B.

SAFETY POLICY

The personal safety and health of all Scepter employees is of primary importance.  Our basic premise is that all injuries and occupational illnesses are preventable.  We insist that our operations:

  • strive for an injury free workplace,
  • are never satisfied when injuries occur, and
  • take the required action to prevent them. 

We closely monitor our safety performance against specific corporate goals as well as compared to general industry standards. To be successful, our safety program must embody the proper attitudes toward injury and occupational illness prevention on the part of management, supervisors, and employees. It also requires cooperation in all safety and health matters, not only between supervisor and employee, but also between each employee and his or her co-workers.

Scepter management accepts the responsibility for leadership of the safety and health program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing safe conditions.Supervisors are responsible for developing the proper attitudes toward safety and health in themselves, and in those they supervise, and for ensuring that all operations are performed with the utmost regard for the safety and health of all personnel involved, including themselves. Employees are responsible for compliance with all rules and regulations and for continuously practicing safety while performing their duties.

SUSTAINABILITY POLICY

Sustainability: 'Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.'

RECYCLING

RECOVER-ABILITY: IT'S WHAT WE DO

The Scepter Group* is 100% dedicated to getting you the highest possible recovery from your material.  Scepter's customers rely on our ability to recover as much metal as possible from what is delivered.

WE TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER

  • Scepter frequently consults with customers on dross handling practices and techniques to maximize their value
  • Scepter collaborates with customers on scrap collection, skimming and remelt practices to attain the appropriate recovery for their specific operating procedures
  • Employees of companies of the Scepter Group are thoroughly trained to leverage our proprietary technology and process controls to ensure that the results are as expected

Remelt-scrap ingot requires processors to retain the chemistry of the material that was shipped without contaminating the alloy due to improper storage, handling or melting practices.  Scepter continually manages this process to avoid any alloy degradation. Some of the plants in the Scepter Group have the capability to blend various alloys of scrap to make specification ingot.  This allows customers to send us a variety of materials in order to make a uniform grade of aluminum.  This requires experience, systems and furnace capabilities that many of our competitors do not have.

QUALITY

Scepter is committed to producing a quality product that meets each customer's unique requirements at a competitive price.

  • Scepter's standard operating procedures ensure that its best practices are followed by its operators
  • Control plans identify important control points in the manufacturing process
  • Preventive maintenance programs ensure the reliable delivery of expected results
  • 9000 ISO Certified

VALUE

Value is something that is difficult to define, but you know it when you see it.  Scepter believes that its combination of a fair price, excellent chemistry controls and high recovery rates creates the highest overall value for its customers.

Companies of the Scepter Group:

  • Own and operate three special-use, restricted-waste landfills.  Our knowledge of handling and managing recycling wastes provides security for our customers.
