Bremen Castings Inc., Bremen, Ind., and Ryobi Die Casting USA, Shelbyville, Ind., have received grant funding from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) for equipment to start or expand recycling in their operations.
The metalcasters were among seven companies to receive grants totaling $500,000.
