USA: Sortera Technologies to Build Second Facility
USA-based Sortera Technologies, Inc. will use the funding of 45 million US-Dollar for the company’s growth as a major domestic supplier of metals upcycled from waste. In addition to the funding, it has plans for its second state-of-the-art processing facility in Lebanon, Tennessee.
According to Sortera Technologies, Inc., by its own account, a market-leading aluminum sorting company with an upcycling platform powered by artificial intelligence, data analytics, and advanced sensors, the funding was led by accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates and VXI Capital, with participation from Yamaha Motor Ventures and Overlay Capital, with additional equipment funding from Trinity Capital. The company expects that the new facility will be operational by the summer of 2026. Since launching operations at its Markle facility, Indiana, in 2023, Sortera has experienced “significant customer demand for its high-quality recycled aluminum alloys,” the company highlighted its success in producing end-of-life recycled aluminum products, including 380, 356, 319, and wrought (3105 and others). “Each product is specifically designed to match the chemistry of common casting and rolling alloys.” Sortera also produces low-silicon wrought packages and polished end-of-life aluminum die cast for direct use in 380 applications. “The Markle facility demonstrates Sortera’s technological success at transforming mixed alloy scrap – historically downgraded or shipped overseas – into high-value materials for critical applications in the automotive, construction, and aerospace industries.”
