Our metal recycling company had its start in 1913 when Abe Leder began collecting and selling scrap metal and used equipment. As time went on, the company grew and eventually Abe’s two sons joined the operation. Morton and Leonard Leder focused on the big picture and purchased a processing facility to handle the increased demand for their services. Under the current management of family members Mark Leder and Isaac Einisman, Leder Brothers Metal continues to provide superior service by investing in the latest technology and the proper environmental safeguards to meet the needs of their retail, industrial and commercial customers. Today these two industry professionals eagerly await the opportunity to assist you with your scrap metal recycling inquiries.

Recycling metals has a long history in the United States. During World War II, a strong scrap metal recycling effort played a major role, as many people still remember. Today, scrap collection and recycling is a major industrial source for a wide variety of raw materials. The value of most metal scrap is high because recycling is far less expensive than the cost of mining ore and converting that ore to useful materials for manufacturing. In the 21st Century metal recycling is an international business, with scrap metal flowing across the world for reprocessing into the products we purchase.

Leder Brothers Metal Company was created in 1913 by Abe Leder, the grandfather of Mark Leder, one of the current co-owners, along with Isaac Einisman, another family member. Today, our company plays a major role in the metal recycling industry in the Minneapolis St. Paul metro area. We buy scrap metals of all kinds from a wide range of customers ranging from individual scrap haulers to industrial firms throughout Minnesota and surrounding states. At our facility, we carefully analyze all scrap, then grade it, sort it, and make it ready for sale to our wholesale buyers, both in the United States and internationally. We pay highly competitive prices for all scrap we purchase and work to establish long-term relationships with every seller.

As a full-service scrap metal buyer, we purchase almost all metals in a wide range of forms and in all quantities.
