The St. Clair County Economic Development Council announced today that Groom’s Aluminum Processing has begun construction on their new facility in Ashville.  Their new facility will be located on Industrial Park Drive in the Ashville Industrial Park.

Groom’s Aluminum Processing is a new venture headed by Dwayne Grooms. Grooms has years of experience in the aluminum processing and smelting industry.
