Brown Recycling Mfg., Inc. was started by Cecil Brown in the late 1970's, with one employee. They traveled to different states buying catalytic converters, decanning the substrate and selling it to a refinery. In the early 1980's, the muffler shops that were selling the scrap converters started asking if they could buy used converters off the truck. With time, Brown Recycling was established and running well. There had become a great demand for quality used converters at a reasonable price. Brown Recycling was supplying that demand and growing strong.

To supply the demand for used catalytic converters, we buy parts yards, scrap yards, overstock warehouses, independent converter buyers and many of our distributors send in cores to be remanufactured. All converters that are not remanufactured are decanned, selling the catalyst to a refinery, the shells and substrate wrap to a metals market.

Brown Recycling Mfg., Inc. buys catalytic converters from parts yards, scrap yards, overstock warehouses, independent converter sellers. The company is divided into two divisions, substrate recovery and remanufactured O.E. catalytic converters.
