Revolutionizing the Scrap Metal Industry with Jeff Thomason

In an era where efficiency, sustainability, and customer-centric services are paramount, Horizon Metals LLC stands out in the scrap metal industry. Recently, Jeff Thomason, owner of Horizon Metals, shared insights on the Power of the Permian podcast, hosted by Breezey Clark . In this episode, Jeff discusses the intricacies of their operations and how they are setting new standards in the industry.

A Streamlined, Industrial-Focused Operation

Horizon Metals operates exclusively for industrial clients, allowing them to maintain an organized and efficient yard. This focus minimizes vehicle traffic and enables quicker turnaround times for trucks, enhancing both driver and customer satisfaction. Their commitment to serving industrial needs ensures that their clients receive tailored, high-quality service.

Innovative Use of Technology

One of the standout features of Horizon Metals is their use of GPS and camera systems in all roll-off containers. These technologies allow the company to monitor the contents and fullness of containers remotely, enabling proactive rather than reactive service. This approach not only ensures timely service but also helps prevent overloading, which can lead to additional costs and safety risks.

Strategic Location and Rail Access

Situated between Midland and Odessa, Horizon Metals benefits from a strategic location that enhances service efficiency. Their access to rail transport is crucial for staying competitive, especially in remote areas. Shipping by rail significantly reduces costs compared to road transport, allowing Horizon Metals to offer better pricing to their customers.

Commitment to Safety and Compliance

Safety is a top priority at Horizon Metals. They employ experienced managers and staff who ensure that all materials are processed correctly to avoid hazards, such as explosions at steel mills. Their rigorous safety protocols and proactive measures, including remote monitoring, help maintain a safe working environment.

Nationwide Service and Expansion into Canada

Horizon Metals isn't just a local player; they offer services across the United States and Canada. Their ability to provide value in diverse markets sets them apart. The company’s recent expansion into Canada demonstrates their growth potential and commitment to meeting industrial needs on a larger scale.

Customer-Centric Approach

A true partnership with their customers is at the heart of Horizon Metals’ operations. They provide roll-off containers at no charge and handle transportation and processing, paying customers for the scrap metal collected. This customer-first approach, combined with their advanced tracking and monitoring systems, ensures transparency and trust.

Environmental Responsibility

Horizon Metals is committed to sustainability. By efficiently recycling scrap metal, they contribute to the production of new steel, reducing waste and supporting a greener economy. Their operations exemplify how industrial recycling can be both profitable and environmentally responsible.

Future Growth and Innovation

Looking ahead, Jeff Thomason is excited about the company’s growth prospects. Horizon Metals is continually exploring new technologies to enhance their services and expand their market reach. Their focus on targeted growth and maintaining high service standards promises a bright future for the company.

Conclusion

Horizon Metals is revolutionizing the scrap metal industry through innovation, strategic operations, and a customer-centric approach. Their commitment to efficiency, safety, and sustainability not only sets them apart but also positions them as a leader in the industry.
