Reed Utility Plant Services

A major business initiative for Reed Minerals is to provide a value added service to utility plants across the United States. We utilize over 70 years of industry expertise to provide a solution to the issue of site waste removal in the form of coal combustion by-product while strengthening our long term supplier relationships. Instead of throwing the by-product away, burying it or dumping it in a landfill, Reed Minerals provides a "green" service in attaining the product and turning it into BLACK BEAUTY® abrasives and other "green" products for the marketplace.

Why Outsource?

Utility plants face increasing pressure to sustain their competitive advantage and focus their skills and resources on the core business activities of delivering dependable, reliable power to customers when they need it. Competitiveness can be improved by outsourcing non-core activities to a professional service provider like Reed Minerals.

Progressive utility plants recognize that having a professional partner like Reed Minerals to manage and take responsibility for coal by-product removal makes business sense. Outsourcing brings utility plants benefits through:

  • Capital relief
  • Cost reduction and control
  • Internal skills and resources focused on core processes and competencies – making electricity
  • Access to Reed's by-product marketing expertise
  • Access to investment in research and development
  • Specialized professional capabilities

Reed Minerals has evolved to meet the numerous challenges facing today's utility industry and constantly strives to develop services and technologies to meet the needs of its clients. We operate with the following principles that are the core of partnerships:

  • High integrity and ethics built from the Harsco Corporation Code of Conduct
  • Focus on the environment – recycling, reuse, "green" principles in all aspects of our business
  • Health and safety – a commitment to compliance and coordination with our suppliers and customers
  • Win-Win relationships – both parties benefit through open communication and commitment
