Sadoff Iron & Metal acquires Suncoast Communications

Sadoff Iron & Metal, a scrap metal company headquartered in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and a subsidiary of Sadoff & Rudoy Industries LLP, has acquired Suncoast Communications, a telecommunications equipment and service provider based in Glen Bernie, Maryland.

According to Sadoff, this partnership marks a milestone for both companies, integrating their strengths in the reuse and recycling of telecommunications equipment and infrastructure. By leveraging the Responsible Recycling- (R2-) certified electronics recycling capability of Sadoff E-Recycling & Data Destruction and Suncoast’s specialized offerings, Sadoff says they will combine for a value-centric approach.

“Incorporating both the reuse and recycling aspects of telecommunications equipment allows us to not only better serve our customers’ needs but also provide a value-driven strategy for enhancing our clients’ bottom lines," says Jason Lasky, a partner with Sadoff.

Sadoff & Rudoy Industries has more than 70 years in the recycling industry and a team of 240 employees. Comprising International Organization for Standardization-certified Sadoff Iron & Metal and R2v3-certified Sadoff E-Recycling & Data Destruction, the company maintains a presence across six locations in Wisconsin and two in Nebraska, serving domestic and international markets.

Suncoast, founded by telecommunications industry veteran Edward Howe five years ago, is comprised of a team of 27 employees between its two locations and is a supplier of new, used and refurbished telecommunications and networking equipment.

“Augmenting scrap sales has significantly enriched our offerings to reuse customers, proving to be a savvy market approach,” Howe says. “Our strategic combination empowers us with a compelling proposition to win new business and foster existing relationships.”
