Willig Tire Recycling, one of Ohio’s leading tire recycling companies, has opened its second Ohio location, Willig Tire Recycling South, located in Hamilton, Ohio.
The new facility operates from an established site owned by Rumpke Waste & Recycling.
Under this expansion, Willig Tire Recycling will exclusively take over all tire shredding and material processing operations previously performed on-site, supporting both increased internal demand and continued growth across the region.
“With the demand for responsible tire recycling continuing to rise, expanding into southern Ohio allows us to better serve our customers while significantly increasing our processing capacity,” said Steve Porter, owner & chief operating officer of Willig. “Operating from a facility like this gives us a strong strategic advantage as we continue to scale.”
The Hamilton operation, located near Cincinnati, branded as Willig Tire Recycling South, will play a key role in the company’s integrated system, working alongside its northern Ohio facility in Galion. The expansion is further supported by the company’s transportation division, NexGen Tire Recycling, which manages the logistics and movement of millions of tires annually.
“This is a natural evolution of what we’ve been building,” said Andrew Willig, chief executive officer & owner of Willig Tire Recycling. “Our company is rooted in a family legacy that goes back decades, and we take a lot of pride in continuing that tradition the right way – by investing in our people, our equipment, and the communities we serve.”
Stephen Kurtzman, president & owner of Willig Tire Recycling, added, “None of this growth happens without the team behind it. We have a group of dedicated employees who show up every day and take pride in what they do. This expansion is just as much a reflection of their effort as it is our vision.”
Willig Tire Recycling specializes in converting scrap tires into high-quality recycled materials used across a wide range of applications, including synthetic turf infill, poly injected molding, molded rubber products, and asphalt. The company has invested heavily in advanced processing technology to produce cleaner, more consistent rubber products at scale.
