W. Silver Recycling Plans Tucson, Arizona, Operations

08/21/2024
W. Silver Recycling, a recycling company with locations across the Southwest, plans to establish operations in Tucson, Arizona. The $5 million project is expected to create up to 25 jobs.

The new facility, located on four acres, will allow for improved service times to Central and Southern Arizona clients, and to company partners in Sonora, Mexico. Operations are scheduled to begin by this Fall.

“Proximity to the maquilas in Northern Mexico and access to the Californian market was key in the decision to expand to Tucson,” said Patrick Merrick, president, W. Silver Recycling. “Tucson has a skilled workforce and a growing manufacturing presence, both of which are needed for a successful operation.”

In addition to Sun Corridor Inc, partners in the project include Pima County, City of Tucson and PICOR.

“Tucson and northern Mexico share a long history of cross border engagement on many levels, including economic, civic, cultural and educational. Our geographic position and natural alignment puts us at the center of more economic opportunities, such as W. Silver Recycling’s decision to locate their facility here,” noted Susan Gray, chair, Sun Corridor Inc. and president & CEO, Tucson Electric Power. “Tucson offers companies like W. Silver Recycling all the right assets to do cross border business successfully. We thank Lane Gaddy and his team for the confidence in our community.”

W. Silver Recycling purchases metallic by-products from manufacturers for processing and distribution. The company services the needs of manufacturers in the southwest United States and Mexico.
