Hematite

John Pavanel is the  President of Hematite Manufacturing. We're an automotive parts manufacturer. We do acoustic components for interior applications, and we do underbody components for exterior applications.

The business started - my father was a chemical engineer that worked for BF Goodrich and decided he wanted to do something on his own. One of the development projects was with Ford Motor Company and it was to recycle trim scrap from interior components of the vehicles. Ford Motor Company was landfilling 20 million pounds of scrap. There wasn't an environmental cause to find a solution to that. The Township was simply running out of space to bury the stuff, so it was an opportunity for us.
