Our Team
About Our CEO, Spencer Blue
18+ Years in the Scrap Metal Industry
Returning to Louisville in 2005, Spencer grew the family business, Freedom Metals, from a mom-and-pop shop to a full-service recycled materials processor with locations in Louisville, Elizabethtown, Frankfort, and Winchester. Purchasing and shipping recycled metals throughout the United States as well as exporting globally, Spencer’s focus was on building relationships with small to large manufacturers in the state based on long-term contracts. Freedom Metals was sold in 2017, processing more than 500 million pounds annually at the time. After staying on for several years, he purchased Cobra Trading in April of 2021, later rebranding the business as Blue Recycled Materials in 2023 to better reflect the values and beliefs of the company. Spencer enjoys all aspects of the business and takes great pride in operational excellence and customer service.
