According to a recent press release by Ecore International, the company has acquired HTI Recycling, a prominent tire collection, recycling, reuse, and crumb rubber manufacturing business based in Lockport, New York. The acquisition also includes HTI’s subsidiaries, Edge Rubber Recycling and D&G Heavy Equipment Leasing.

As stated by Ecore, this move unites two family-run businesses that share a long-standing commitment to supporting a circular economy through high-quality products and services. HTI was founded by Derek Martin and built in partnership with his son, Carl E. Martin. The company has become a trusted name in tire recycling across the Northeast U.S., known for its innovation and dependability.

Ecore, headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is a leader in upcycling reclaimed rubber into high-performance surface products. Through its TRUcircularity™ program, the company reclaims end-of-life rubber from customers and reprocesses it into new materials, contributing to a zero-waste outcome.

“This acquisition is a meaningful step in Ecore’s strategy to rid the world of rubber waste by strengthening our supply chain and expanding our scale,” said Art Dodge, CEO of Ecore. “We are excited to welcome HTI to the Ecore team as we work together for a more sustainable future.”

Kal Krishan, President of Ecore’s Materials Business Unit, added: “HTI has long been an excellent partner for Ecore’s materials business. This acquisition will further bolster our supply chain and build on existing capabilities to deliver for our customers.”

With this acquisition, 81 HTI employees will join Ecore, supporting the company’s broader mission to innovate in materials science and expand circular practices across its operations.
