History

Bob’s Metals, Inc. was established as a Portland, Oregon based family business in 1983. The Company was founded by Bob and Idelle Weinstein. Bob served as a one man operation servicing the scrap metal recycling needs of local community businesses. Through a strong commitment to honesty, integrity and competitive pricing, Bob developed a well-known reputation within the industry.

Bob grew up in the scrap metal recycling business working at various yards during high school and college. After graduating from the University of Oregon with a business degree, Bob began a career in the industry employed by many of the scrap yards in the Portland, Oregon and Tacoma, Washington areas. Bob brought seventeen years of experience to the opening of Bob’s Metals, Inc. at its first location under the Ross Island Bridge. Twenty four years later the company relocated to its present day site on N. Columbia Blvd. This move provided more space for operations and equipment and positioned the Company to continue its growth for years to come.

After decades of service, Bob's Metals, Inc. has grown into one of the northwest's leading metal processing facilities. The Company is currently owned and operated by the second generation of family members that have brought years of higher education and experience from other scrap metal recycling businesses and public and private industries. BMI is well positioned for long-term growth building on a strong foundation and proud reputation of honesty, integrity and competitive prices initiated by Bob Weinstein more than 30 years ago.
