Comstock, a metals company headquartered in the United States, is setting up a large-scale solar panel recycling operation, a manufacturing site, and a distribution center in Cambridge, Ohio. This initiative is being carried out by its subsidiary Comstock Metals, working alongside JobsOhio—a nonprofit economic development organization—and OhioSE, its regional partner covering the southeastern part of the state.
The venture is projected to generate roughly 20 positions in the local area and involves a 21,570-square-foot building plus an adjoining laydown yard. A US$75,000 grant from JobsOhio is backing the effort. OhioSE helped Comstock Metals obtain the financial incentive and choose the Cambridge location.
Corrado De Gasperis, who serves as CEO of Comstock Inc., stated that the new Cambridge site forms a vital part of the company’s expanding nationwide network for handling, storing, and reprocessing solar materials that have reached the end of their useful life and are being taken out of service across the country. The growth is intended to enlarge Comstock Metals’ closed-loop recycling activities, cut logistics expenses—which make up an estimated 30% to 50% of overall recycling costs—and enhance service to its expanding clientele in the Midwest and Eastern United States.
Comstock Metals already runs a recycling site in Silver Springs, Nevada, where it is boosting capacity to 100,000 tons of retired solar panels each year, achieving a reported 100% material recovery rate. The Ohio facility will increase the downstream production of reclaimed aluminum, copper, silver, and glass for sale into local industrial supply chains, while cutting down on long-distance transport needs.
Fortunato Villamagna, president of Comstock Metals, remarked that the central Ohio site offers an economical logistical option for the company’s increasing customer base in the Midwest and Northeast US, advancing its objective of establishing the benchmark for solar recycling in America. He further noted that the firm has built a robust network of connections in the eastern US with solar energy producers, operations and maintenance teams, and manufacturers, and that backing from JobsOhio and OhioSE marks a significant milestone in the nation’s acknowledgment and emphasis on these essential recycling efforts that benefit communities.
Established in 2022 and based in Nevada, Comstock Metals functions across the Southwest, Midwest, and Eastern US. In February 2026, the company obtained certification from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control to handle universal waste and process photovoltaic modules at its California site. At the time of the announcement, Comstock indicated that this approval arrives as the volume of decommissioned solar panels nationwide is on the rise, fueling greater demand for specialized PV recycling infrastructure.
