Metalico Buffalo, Inc is one of the largest, most modern scrap metal processors in the Great Lakes region. Our goal is to help you convert your ferrous and non-ferrous metal into a profit center for you and your business. We work to handle your scrap quickly, weigh it accurately, and move it into the recycling stream as fast as possible. At the same time, we protect our environment by handling your scrap metal according to the latest government regulations. Each day we process every conceivable type of metal from aluminum to copper to steel to the catalytic converters from cars. With a full-time environmental consultant on staff, Metalico Buffalo is committed to handling all scrap with careful attention to environmental concerns. This starts with our containers. We make regular checks to make sure there are no leaks or cracks. As trucks roll through our yard, we scan them for radioactivity. Then as scrap is unloaded, any suspect loads first go onto concrete pads to isolate any potentially dangerous fluids. This also lets us separate water and oils, to eliminate any dangerous runoff. Finally, we invite DEC officials onto our site to help us upgrade and improve our scrap handling ability.Metalico, Inc. is a Ferrous as well as a Non-Ferrous scrap metal processor operating in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and also in Mississippi.  We hold a high standard for customer service and aim to meet every one of our customers' needs.  Our corporate headquarters is located in Cranford, New Jersey. Metalico is a subsidiary of Total Merchant Limited. 

Corporate Mission:

Metalico intends to be the recognized leader for performance and innovation in the metals recycling industry. In addition, the Company strives to be viewed as the best in the eyes of our business constituents, employees, shareholders, and the community at large.

Company Goals:

Metalico aims to become the preeminent, vertically integrated, regionally focused metals recycler. We work in partnership with our suppliers and consumers to be the recognized leader in all the markets where we operate.

Company Profile:

Metalico is a leading full-service, broadly diversified scrap metal recycler, principally operating in the Northeastern United States. Our scrap operations source, buy, process, and sell four distinct groups of commodity metals for use in the manufacture of new products:

• We recycle scrap steel and iron, which is sold primarily to domestic mills and foundries.
• We recycle non-ferrous metals, principally aluminum, copper, lead, and nickel-based steel and high temperature alloys. These products are sold to domestic manufacturers and, to a lesser extent, to the export markets.
• We buy catalytic converters and recover platinum, palladium, and rhodium, known as Platinum Group Metals (PGM's). These precious metals are typically refined and reused by industry in emissions control devices.

Our facility in Syracuse, New York, converts aluminum scrap into deoxidizing cones, an additive used in the steel-making industry. Metalico today employs 600 people in 27 operating locations across 6 states. Metalico is headquartered in Cranford, New Jersey.

Growth Strategy:

Metalico's strategy is to grow by acquisition, and more recently, through emphasis on organically developed internal initiatives. Metalico executes this strategy by carefully locating platform businesses to acquire that we can leverage to increase market penetration by adding tuck-in acquisitions to enhance our competitive advantage. We then look to exploit synergies in transportation, cross-selling among operations and working to realize operating efficiencies. We seek internal growth and expansion opportunities in contiguous geographic markets in order to maximize market share and profitability. The Company looks to mitigate commodity price risk by diversifying across several commodity metals and through rapid turnover of its inventories. Metalico seeks to have a dominant position in the markets in which it operates, and to be the standard-bearer for customer service and quality assurance in the value-added products that we fabricate.

Recycling of Metals:

Metalico operates both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal recycling facilities in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, serving both U.S. and Canadian markets. All forms of metal scrap are purchased from manufacturers, small scrap dealers, demolition contractors, and peddlers. The scrap is sorted and prepared for sale to mills, furnaces and foundries. Two of our facilities, located in Newark, NJ, and Gulfport, MS, process used catalytic converters, recycling platinum, palladium, and rhodium, known as PGM's (Platinum Group Metals). Metalico operates three automobile shredders. Our first is located on Neville Island near the city of Pittsburgh which serves as the platform for the Southwestern Pennsylvania operations. We operate another shredder in nearby Youngstown, Ohio, which serves as a platform for four Ohio facilities. Our newest shredder, located in Lackawanna, New York, provides an outlet for thirteen facilities in surrounding Upstate New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. Metalico has earned a reputation for professionalism and trust with consumers and other large metal buyers. Mills and metal buyers know that Metalico delivers quality materials with exceptional reliability. This means that scrap suppliers can rely on Metalico to accept materials at a fair price, in both up and down markets.

Metalico and the Environment:

The recycling of metals saves natural resources, energy, and consumption of scarce landfill space. Metalico scrap locations offer easy access, quick payment and fair prices to peddlers and local residents--this encourages additional recycling of metal scrap, such as siding, window frames and doors, which typically end up in landfills. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized the Company's use of renewable wind energy and named Metalico as a Green Power Partner. Metalico will continue to contribute to efforts to use renewable energy, reduce pollution and encourage recycling
