BEFORE: This anodized Aluminum Tubing was originally purchased by Ping Golf for use as golf club shafts, but the company never put it into production.
AFTER: A customer in South Carolina found a clever new use for our Aluminum Tubing, “repurposing” it as pickets for her front porch railing. A little creativity gave the Aluminum Tubing a whole new purpose while saving her from buying new material.

“repurpose”SPOTTING: “I saw this on TV when I was watching a show on the history of BBQ and thought it might be of interest to you. ‘Repurposing’ nearly 100 years ago. The Kingsford Company was formed by Henry Ford and E.G. Kingsford during the early 1920s. Charcoal was developed from Ford Motor Company’s factory waste wood scrap.” – Mark in St. Louis
RE: Mark, Awesome! I guess now we can say Mr. Ford pioneered two economic endeavors: 1) the Assembly Line, and 2) “repurposing”!
Q: Do you know of another product, like charcoal, that is made from another waste product? Email Us!

BEFORE: This is the Steel Cable that separates the traffic on highways across America. (A,C,E) This Cable is super strong as it is designed to stop 70 mph vehicles. It is also galvanized which means it resists rust. And, a lot of this cable gets replaced with little to no use. It just sits out in the highway medians until they do some type of highway improvement.
** (A,C,E) = Attributes, Characteristics, Engineering*
AFTER: We recently sold another 2,000′ to an elephant owner in Florida for fencing. Lou, we appreciate your repeat business!
