Equipment Journal<\/a>, AIM Recycling\u2019s footprint spans five continents with 2,500 employees at its 70 locations around the world.<\/p>\n\u201cFrom being a small business, we\u2019ve evolved into a multi-national, and successful multi-faceted company with several division that all complement each other,\u201d Kummer said, noting AIM Recycling is still owned and operated by the Black family.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re a full-service company. We don\u2019t just do scrap.\u201d<\/p>\n
AIM Recycling has diversified its business model to include Eco-Center, which specializes in the recycling of construction and demolition waste, and AIM Global Solder Solutions, the second largest tin solder company in the world. As well, the company operates Kenny U-Pull, an auto wrecking company with more than 14 locations in North America and an inventory of more than 20,000 cars.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe recycle metals as though they are a renewable resource,\u201d Kummer said.<\/p>\n

Delsan is the company\u2019s demolition business, which allowed AIM to combine its recycling capabilities with decommissioning and demolition.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do everything from small demolition projects to large scale, four or five year long projects,\u201d Kummer said. \u201cRight now, we\u2019re demolishing a 4,000-megawatt power facility owned by Ontario. It\u2019s not an easy job to be trusted with.\u201d<\/p>\n
To move the material generated through AIM\u2019s five division, the company owns 300 trucks, 500 trailers and more than 900 railcars, a number that is expected to quickly grow.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re able to hit multiple destinations on multiple coasts,\u201d Kummer said. \u201cWe actually have a shredder installed on a deep-water port.\u201d<\/p>\n
For its material handlers, AIM Recycling has been working with Liebherr for more than 30 years. The company currently owns about 115 units.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery load that comes in, we use a Liebherr crane. Every load that goes out, we use a Liebherr crane,\u201d Kummer said. \u201cEvery load that sorted is sorted with a Liebherr crane.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the Hamilton recycling facility, AIM is using the\u00a0Liebherr LH 80<\/strong>\u00a0to load its baler and shredder. The LH80 is equipped with a 313 hp engine, 22 meter-reach and Liebherr\u2019s Energy Recovery System, which provides a boost to performance as well as a reduction in fuel economy.<\/p>\n\u201cIf we didn\u2019t have these cranes, we couldn\u2019t work. We use them for everything,\u201d
