Our company was founded in 1911 by Pasquale Greco, an Italian immigrant striving to provide a future in America for his wife and ten young children.
Initially, Pasquale purchased everything from rags, tires, cars and old iron. With hard work and dedication he grew his new business and began to expand. He played a key role in scrap drives during the war years, and was honored for his endeavors in supporting his adopted country.
In his later years, he focused on the purchase and sale of scrap steel, new structural steel, and welding supplies. Upon his death in 1949, the business continued to flourish under the management of Pasquale Greco’s six sons, Fred, Alec, Joseph, John, Robert and Raymond.
In 1984, the structural steel and welding businesses moved to individual ownership, leaving John Greco, Jr. and Robert Greco, Jr. operating the scrap business, P.J. Greco Sons, Inc.
All of the second generation Greco sons are deceased, but P.J. Greco Sons, Inc. continues to do business under the ownership and management of the third generation grandsons, Robert Greco, Jr. and John Greco, Jr.
