S.D. Richman Sons

S.D. Richman Sons, Inc. was established in 1901, in the Germantown section of Philadelphia; using horse and wagons to transport scrap iron and metal. By 1936, the second generation of the Richman family was operating a fleet of trucks and a fully mechanized scrap processing plant.

Between the 1950s and the end of the century, S.D. Richman Sons Inc, continued to lead the way in the scrap metal industry. In 1966, the company relocated and constructed one of the largest scrap processing facilities in Eastern Pennsylvania, on 20 acres in Northeast Philadelphia. Located, just off Exit 26 of I-95, the plant provides easy access to all of the region's major highways. The plant is also serviced by Conrail.

Today the third and fourth generations of the Richman family operate the company and S.D. Richman Sons remains a leader within the industry. Richman’s expertise in hauling and processing metallic scrap will benefit your company by enhancing your return for the scrap you generate. S.D. Richman Sons has created an Environmental Policy which benefits not only the environment, but our customers as well (see Environmental Policy page). The Richmans remain dedicated to providing their customers with the finest service, value, and quality in the scrap industry.
