An old adage in the scrap industry holds that “Scrap is bought, not sold” – meaning that in the highly efficient, demand driven market of iron and metal recycling, long-term relationships and customer orientation are paramount. J.L. Proler Iron & Steel Company takes this message to heart:

J.L. Proler can do the job you need it to do, when you need it done. That’s why J.L.
