AMG Resources

AMG Resources is an American metals recycling and steel products company that describes itself as a global supplier of recycled metals and new steel products. Founded in 1988 with the acquisition of the metals division of Vulcan Materials — a detinner with operations in Baltimore, Maryland; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Gary, Indiana; and the United Kingdom — the company has grown through a long series of acquisitions into one of the world's largest processors and suppliers of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals, and a leading supplier of prime and secondary steel products. The company operates across the full metals supply chain. For scrap metal generators and vendors, AMG is a full-service scrap metal recycler that purchases all grades of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, including stainless steel, titanium and alloys, from industrial generators, demolition contractors, scrap dealers, tradesmen and peddlers. For industrial generators, it develops and manages scrap programs designed to maximize the value of generated scrap and to make scrap-handling functions as efficient as possible. It manages scrap logistics, including supplying containers and arranging transportation, including rail service using its extensive private railcar fleet. Because of its advanced processing capabilities, AMG can accept scrap that is difficult to handle due to size or chemistry. Complementing its coast-to-coast processing facilities, AMG is also one of the largest scrap metal brokers in the United States, selling to all major domestic steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous metal producers as well as export markets worldwide. With commercial offices throughout the United States and the United Kingdom, the company is connected to both domestic and international markets and aims to maximize value for its brokerage customers. Its scrap-management customers include some of the largest manufacturers in the United States and Europe, and it is able to manage scrap programs for regional, national and international companies with multiple locations and service facilities across the United States and Europe. AMG's history is a story of steady expansion through acquisition. After its 1988 founding, it opened a scrap-processing facility in Saint Paul, Minnesota in 1989 to recycle magnetized trash and used cans. It went on to acquire the business of Burstein Company (1994), S. Goldstein & Son (1995), Kimmel Metals (1997), Schnitzer Steel's precipitation-iron production facility in Lathrop, California and the tinplate scrap business of ReMarket (1998), and Joseph B. Zamelsky Company (2000). In 2006 it acquired an interest in Royal Green, and in 2008 it acquired the business of Midwest Steel & Alloy, a Youngstown, Ohio scrap processor specializing in railcar dismantling and mill roll processing. In 2010 an AMG affiliate, International Steel & Counterweights, was founded and opened a steel fabrication and counterweight manufacturing facility in Youngstown, Ohio. Royal Green opened a scrap-processing facility in Lebanon, Pennsylvania in 2012, and in 2016 AMG acquired an interest in Allegheny Raw Materials. Today AMG Resources presents itself as a global supplier of recycled metals and new steel products, combining processing facilities, brokerage operations, rail logistics and steel fabrication capabilities to serve customers at every level of the metals supply chain.

AMG Resources was founded in 1988 when it acquired the metals division of Vulcan Materials, a detinner with operations in Baltimore, Maryland; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Gary, Indiana; and the United Kingdom. This acquisition gave the new company a base in both the United States and Europe and established its focus on ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals. In 1989, AMG opened a scrap-processing facility in Saint Paul, Minnesota, to recycle magnetized trash and used cans. The 1990s saw a series of acquisitions that broadened its geographic footprint and processing capabilities. In 1994 it acquired the business of Burstein Company, a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based dealer of specialty ferrous scrap. In 1995 it acquired the business of S. Goldstein & Son, a scrap processor with operations in Newark, New Jersey. In 1997 it acquired the business of Kimmel Metals, a scrap processor with operations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Fort Dodge, Iowa; and St. Joseph, Missouri. In 1998 it acquired Schnitzer Steel's precipitation-iron production facility in Lathrop, California, and the tinplate scrap business of ReMarket, a Memphis, Tennessee-based scrap dealer. In 2000 it acquired the business of Joseph B. Zamelsky Company, a scrap processor with operations in Newark, New Jersey. The 2000s brought further expansion. In 2006 AMG acquired an interest in Royal Green, a scrap processor with operations in Reading, Pennsylvania. In 2008 it acquired the business of Midwest Steel & Alloy, a scrap processor with operations in Youngstown, Ohio, that specializes in railcar dismantling and mill roll processing. In 2010 an AMG affiliate, International Steel & Counterweights, was founded and opened a steel fabrication and counterweight manufacturing facility in Youngstown, Ohio. In 2012 Royal Green opened a scrap-processing facility in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. In 2016 AMG acquired an interest in Allegheny Raw Materials, a scrap processor. Over the decades, AMG has grown into one of the world's largest processors and suppliers of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals and a leading supplier of prime and secondary steel products. Its business model combines coast-to-coast processing facilities, one of the largest scrap metal brokerage operations in the United States, commercial offices throughout the United States and the United Kingdom, and an extensive private railcar fleet for scrap logistics. The company serves scrap metal generators and vendors — from industrial generators and demolition contractors to scrap dealers, tradesmen and peddlers — as well as scrap metal dealers, selling to major domestic steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous metal producers and export markets worldwide.
