Portland Iron & Metal Inc
3130 Knoll Road, Portland, Michigan, United States
Portland Iron & Metal will have been in the metal recycling business for 34 years on October 10, 2015:
Portland Iron and Metal Company was founded in 1967 by Gordon Piercefield and Jerry Piercefield, his brother. Gordon soon became sole owner and operated, while also building pole barns and doing light excavating. It was purchased by his son-in-law William E. Fox, Jr and his son, John Piercefield on Oct 10, 1981 and incorporated as Portland Iron and Metal, Inc. Since that humble beginning, Portland Iron has grown into a full service recycling business complete with rolloff container service, shredders, shears and baling equipment. In 1982, we built our first aluminum smelter and operated in a garage, producing 30# ingots. By the end of 1984, we completed our second aluminum smelter with 8000# hold chamber capacity producing 1100# blocks of aluminum called ‘sows’. Since then, we processed over 53 million pounds until it was replaced in 2000 with our first shredder. Since then, we have specialized in shredding aluminum scrap with iron and other contaminants, producing foundry, smelter and mill grade shredded aluminum products. We currently operate three shredders that are complemented with a variety of downstream equipment. Our latest addition in May of 2015 was a Hammel 950DK, which is a portable, remote controlled, diesel powered pre-shredder capable of shredding over 40 NT per hour. We design, build and maintain most of our processing and support equipment, including our shredders.
We are blessed to be in the scrap business, serving the great people of Sebewa Township, Ionia County and the State of Michigan with personal integrity and quality products.
