We made our name in metal through the strength of our reputation.
 

 

The buying, processing and selling of scrap metal is a rugged, yet environmentally vital business. We’re proud to say the Posner name has been prominent in the scrap metal business through three generations of the Posner family, dating back to the 1960’s. Though we handle the toughest of materials and work with heavy machinery, we still consider ourselves a friendly, family business, where the owner is always on site. We maintain a consistent base of sellers and buyers of metal, who respect us for our capabilities and our personal involvement in the continuous process of recycling metal. We are located in Hamilton, Ontario with a loyal staff of about 50 people.

 
Mountains of metal moving with maximum efficiency and safety.

Though our network of metal sellers and recycled metal purchasers extends globally, our operations are based on a vast, six-acre facility in Hamilton, Ontario. There, along with our offices, you’ll see mountains of scrap metals being loaded, sorted, processed and recycled into re-useable metal. It may not look pretty, but industry-aware people understand that our operations play a significant role in creating an overall healthier environment. What we do here is purchase and collect scrap metal from various sources. Metal that would otherwise become garbage in landfills. When we’re finished with it, it goes to mills , smelters, foundries, etc. for reuse. Please see our environmental section for more details on this.

 

We have the metal handling machinery and people with the necessary knowledge. 
 

Operating an environmentally conscientious and profitable scrap metal recycling service is a relatively sophisticated business. It requires a significant expenditure for specialized, heavy metal handling equipment and metal testing equipment. We own a fleet of ten roll-off lugger trucks that load and unload the hundreds of industrial boxes we use to collect scrap metal. Also required are cranes and scrap handlers as well as several forklift trucks and Bobcat loaders. To maintain this equipment, we have a mechanical garage complete with a welding shop. However, our most important asset is our people. We have a large pool of experienced staff who understand metal and how it moves through the recycling process
