ARA President, Shan Lathem, along with Second Vice President, Eric Wilbert, were in Stoneleigh Park, Coventry, United Kingdom at the end of May to present at the Complete Auto Recycling Show and Metals Recycling Event 2023. The gathering is one of Europe’s largest events for the vehicle recycling, dismantling, and metals recycling industries. Lathem and Wilbert enjoyed meeting with ARA members in attendance as well as business owners from across Europe. They participated in a session titled “Recycling Around the World” and gave a United States perspective on the market for recycled parts and factors impacting ARA member businesses. Their presentation covered opportunities and challenges facing auto recyclers as well as what ARA is doing as an Association to prepare member businesses for the future. Details of ARA’s Strategic Plan, adopted earlier this year by the Board of Directors, were shared and all were encouraged to attend ARA’s 80th Annual Convention & Exposition in Kansas City this fall.
