Leading Minnesota Scrap Metal Buyer – Minneapolis St. Paul
Recycling metals has a long history in the United States. During World War II, a strong scrap metal recycling effort played a major role, as many people still remember. Today, scrap collection and recycling is a major industrial source for a wide variety of raw materials. The value of most metal scrap is high because recycling is far less expensive than the cost of mining ore and converting that ore to useful materials for manufacturing. In the 21st Century metal recycling is an international business, with scrap metal flowing across the world for reprocessing into the products we purchase.
Leder Brothers Metal Company was created in 1913 by Abe Leder, the grandfather of Mark Leder, one of the current co-owners, along with Isaac Einisman, another family member. Today, our company plays a major role in the metal recycling industry in the Minneapolis St. Paul metro area. We buy scrap metals of all kinds from a wide range of customers ranging from individual scrap haulers to industrial firms throughout Minnesota and surrounding states. At our facility, we carefully analyze all scrap, then grade it, sort it, and make it ready for sale to our wholesale buyers, both in the United States and internationally.
