Glantz Celebrating 100th Year Anniversary

Glantz Iron & Metals Inc., located in Great Neck, N.Y., is celebrating its 100th year anniversary this year.

The business was started in 1910 by Harry Glantz to pick up scrap metal in and around New York City, primarily from plumbers. The company has evolved, and now purchases scrap metal from manufacturers, generators, dealers and processors. The company markets the processed material both domestically as well as internationally.

Metal Recycling Consultants, a division of Glantz, also advises and consults with numerous entities in recycling of scrap metal. Paul Glantz, president of MRC, says, “Our centennial celebration is a tremendous milestone. One hundred years of environmentally sound scrap metal recycling makes us a pioneer, a trailblazer some say, in the recycling industry. We are one of the oldest recycling companies in the United States. We were recycling decades before it became popular, and years before the term ‘recycling’ was coined."
