Our Origins

Scepter Bicknell - 1986

"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. Scott, Jr. in 1986 and headquartered in Waverly, TN.

Today, the Scepter Group* is a recognized leader in aluminum dross and scrap recycling and producer of other semi-fabricated aluminum products. Scepter provides its customers with an unbeatable combination of on-specification chemistry, industry-best recovery and competitive pricing. We have differentiated ourselves through an innovative approach to leveraging furnace technology and talented employees while, at the same time, maintaining a strong commitment to environmentally-friendly practices and a safe workplace.

Scepter's plants are located in geographically advantageous locations to serve our customers, who are large, medium and small aluminum producers and processors and fabricators. We forge long-term relationships with our customers who regularly turn to us for their processing needs.

Scepter's employees are important. In fact, "People-Safety-Housekeeping" holds the #1 spot on our priority list. We provide competitive wages and benefits in a safe and productive workplace. In addition, we pride ourselves in providing our employees with career-growth opportunities while expecting them to be responsible and to uphold Scepter's principles and goals.
