HENRY COUNTY, Va. (WDBJ) - A supplier and recycler of tin and tin alloy products is investing $65 million to built a first-of-its-kind metal production and processing facility in Henry County, according to Governor Glenn Youngkin .
Nathan Trotter selected a 44-acre site north of Martinsville for the 115,000-square-foot tin processing facility, which will “significantly increase American tin supply and recycling capabilities,” according to Youngkin. At full capacity, Tin Ridge is expected to create about 118 jobs in the Commonwealth.
“Our new state-of-the-art tin processing facility will play an important and historic role in strengthening our nation’s fragile tin supply chain, as global competition and demand for critical minerals reaches extraordinary levels,” said Tyler Morris, VP
