MORRIS INDUSTRIES, INC
DELAND, FLORIDA

Morris Industries, Inc., headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, is a privately held industrial group with a focus on long-term investments in the recycling sector. It was founded by Nate Morris under the principle that business can be a force for positive global change. Steeped in social enterprise values, the company aims to educate and empower individuals, customers, communities, and supply chains towards achieving beneficial outcomes. Morris Industries is not structured as a private equity fund; instead, it emphasizes long-term growth and delivering value to its investors and employees. The Morris Industries Foundation reflects this ethos by supporting causes that facilitate self-advancement, in alignment with the cherished American ideal of upward mobility through opportunity. Part of these philanthropic efforts include collaboration with the Bluegrass Community Foundation and initiatives like the Lewis Sexton Scholarship Fund. The foundation's scholarship program, established in honor of former UAW Local 862 President Lewis Sexton, awards $5,000 scholarships to children or legal wards of UAW 862 members or retirees pursuing higher education within Kentucky. The company actively supports educational institutions such as the Gatton College of Business and Economics. Founded in Florida with incorporation records dating back to October 2, 2000, Morris Industries is incorporated under Florida's legal framework with incorporation status updated last on March 17, 2016, through a reinstatement event. The latest annual report was filed on February 7, 2024. Key leadership roles consist of Gary Morris serving as President and Jodie Morris acting as Secretary.
