COMPANY OVERVIEW
Behr Iron & Metal (Behr) operates solely in the metal recycling industry. We buy, process and sell scrap metals sourced from industry, obsolete materials, plant tear-downs, construction and other sources.
Scrap ferrous and non-ferrous metal is delivered to our premises by truck and rail or picked up by our own trucking company. The scrap we receive is prepared to consumer specification utilizing a broad range of processing equipment. Our scrap is shipped in the most cost effective way by truck, rail or barge based on the needs of the consumer.
Behr Iron & Metal’s facilities are located in the Midwest, spanning four states. We manage ten full service scrap operations and two free standing drive through collection facilities. We operate three shredders, five guillotine shears and a myriad of other processing equipment such as cranes, balers and specialized equipment. We source a substantial amount of raw material by partnering with Fortune 500 companies, small manufacturers and scrap yard producers of all sizes.
We have environmental, engineering and construction workers on staff to ensure proper ecological handling of your scrap and to enhance the services we can offer your company.
