Our Metals Recycling Operations

We are one of North America’s largest metals recyclers. Our metals recycling operations consist of our OmniSource facilities, strategically located primarily in close proximity to our steel mills and other end-user scrap consumers throughout the United States, and Central and Northern Mexico. Our metals recycling operations primarily involve the purchase, processing, and resale of ferrous and nonferrous scrap metals into reusable forms and grades. Additionally, we offer transportation, marketing, and brokerage and scrap management services.

End Markets

We sell various grades of processed ferrous scrap primarily to steel mills and foundries. Ferrous scrap metal is the primary raw material for electric arc furnaces, such as our steel mills. In addition, we sell various grades of nonferrous metals to aluminum, steel and ingot manufacturers, brass and bronze ingot makers, copper refineries and mills, smelters, specialty mills, alloy manufacturers, and other consumers.

We Buy

We purchase processed and unprocessed ferrous and nonferrous scrap metals, in a variety of forms for our metals recycling facilities. All scrap metals can be sold to OmniSource—steel, aluminum, copper, stainless steel. We buy everything from industrial scrap to metal scrap from individuals. We then sort and process this scrap to be recycled into new products.

Our Products

Our major ferrous products include heavy melting steel, busheling, bundled scrap, shredded scrap, and other scrap metal products, such as steel turnings and cast iron. These products vary in properties. We process an array of ferrous products through a variety of methods, including sorting, shredding, shearing, cutting, breaking, and baling. The necessary characteristics of the ferrous products are determined by the specific needs and requirements of the consumer. We also process numerous grades of nonferrous products, including aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, and other nonferrous metals. OmniSource Electronics Recycling handles all forms of electronics equipment, metals, and other recyclables, ensuring electronic scrap is properly and responsibly recycled and managed. Additionally, we operate a secondary-aluminum smelter, Superior Aluminum Alloys, that produces certified aluminum alloys in the form of ingots, sows, deox cones, deox rod/wire, and molten metal.

Furthermore, we offer transportation logistics, marketing, brokerage, and scrap management services, providing competitive price and cost advantages to our suppliers and customers. We design, install, and manage customized scrap management programs for industrial manufacturing companies.
