Our Mission

Our mission is to transform the copper supply chain through sustainable innovation and U.S.-based production. We deliver high-quality recycled copper to support essential industries like energy, construction, and infrastructure, helping manufacturers meet growing demand without compromising on reliability or environmental responsibility.

By recovering and refining scrap copper domestically, we reduce reliance on foreign sources and lower the environmental impact of traditional mining and shipping. Our goal is to provide a smarter, cleaner path forward—one that strengthens American manufacturing while aligning with the values of our partners and the needs of the future.

Why It Matters

At Ames Copper Group, we recognize the importance of meeting this demand with a supply that is both dependable and responsibly produced. By operating entirely in the United States, we provide a strong alternative to overseas copper sources, helping manufacturers reduce supply chain risks, shorten delivery timelines, and support domestic industry. Our recycled copper solutions offer the performance companies need with the sustainability they value.
