Since the turn of the twentieth century, the Padnos name has become synonymous with dedication, hard work, and fair dealing. What began as a simple, service-orientated, scrap peddling business built from scratch by Louis and Helen Padnos, has since grown into a sophisticated, environmentally aware institution with world wide influence.
This realization of the American dream began in 1905 when Louis Padnos, a young Russian emigrant, settled in Holland, Michigan. Through two world wars, the depression in the 1930’s, the company survived and has ultimately thrived, as a reflection of the Padnos’ strong belief in the value of scrap as a renewable resource, and the importance of customer satisfaction.
