The Wynnchurch Capital recapitalization of Brentwood-based Centrum Equities, reported in July by VNC, has resulted in a new name for the company: Vista-Pro Automotive (reflecting its Visteon lineage), as reported by NashvillePost.com. NP.com also reports giants Alcoa and Novelis, well known in the TN and the mid-South, have created a JV recycling facility here, Evermore Recycling.
