This realization of the American dream began in 1905 when Louis Padnos, a young Russian emigrant, settled in Holland, Michigan. What began as a simple, service orientated, scrap peddling business built from scratch by Louis and Helen Padnos, has since grown into a sophisticated, environmentally aware institution with world wide influence.Through two world wars, the depression in the 1930’s, and serious illness, the company survived, and has ultimately thrived, as a reflection of the Padnos’ strong belief in the value of scrap as a renewable resource, and the importance of customer satisfaction. We believe our work makes the world a better place to live. We are proud of what we do and how we do it. We aspire to excel as a leader in the recycling industry through our quality and environmental systems. We make an uncompromising commitment to the safety of all our employees.
