Aluminz Plans Mount Pleasant, Texas, Aluminum Production Operations

08/05/2025
Aluminz Corporation, an aluminum recovery firm, plans to establish operations in Mount Pleasant, Texas. The project is expected to create more than 130 jobs in Titus County.

The company has secured a 155-acre site and signed a 30-year lease and performance agreement to develop the nation’s first zero-landfill aluminum tolling facility. Operations are scheduled to begin by late 2027.

“This initiative isn’t only good for Titus County and Aluminz; it will help drive growth for a wide ecosystem of partners and customers,” said Richard Mayenknecht, CEO of Aluminz. “Our ability to cost-effectively meet the needs of businesses in the region and beyond will power a wide range of enterprises. Aluminz is proud to partner with MPEDC to make it happen.”

Aluminz is a portfolio company of private investment firm 1V1sion Capital. Through its tolling model, Aluminz enables producers to convert dross and scrap into high-grade secondary aluminum while drastically reducing carbon emissions.

“Our motto has become ‘land here, grow here,’ and today we are excited to welcome Aluminz to Mount Pleasant, Texas,” noted Erman Hensel, Board President of Mount Pleasant Economic Development Corporation. “This achievement is a testament to the power of teamwork and strong leadership. When local partners come together with a shared vision, great things happen. This announcement represents a major milestone in Mount Pleasant’s continued efforts to attract new investment and support job creation. The addition of Aluminz further positions Mount Pleasant, Texas, as a place where businesses can grow and succeed.”
