Ace Iron & Metal

Rare Mettle: The Roots of Ace Iron and Metal

Ace Iron and Metal has been a trusted name in the metals industry since 1946. Our journey began long ago, in the 1920s, with Sam Lando who established a successful scrap metal recycling business. Sam's vision continued to grow with his son, Irving Lando, who founded Ace Iron upon his return from military service after World War II. Irving recognized the burgeoning manufacturing sector in the Kalamazoo area and dedicated himself to providing quality scrap metals to these thriving businesses. Ace Iron's reputation for reliability and expertise quickly spread, solidifying its position in the community. Today, Ace Iron and Metal continues to be a family-owned and operated enterprise, led by Irving's son, Robert. Robert's over 40 years of experience and deep industry connections have propelled Ace Iron to new heights.
