Legend Smelting & Recycling, 717 O'Neill Dr, Hebron, OH 43025, US

OmniSource Corporation handles more than 6 million tons of ferrous scrap and 700 million pounds of nonferrous metals annually. For more than 60 years, OmniSource has concentrated on scrap metal. Scrap processing and transportation, marketing and brokerage, management and consulting are a part of its services. Its singular focus has fueled the company s growth into one of the leading scrap-recycling companies in North America. Irving Rifkin, who came to America in 1920, established the company. Like many immigrants, he started in New York, but made his way to western Ohio, where he began collecting and selling rags, paper and scrap metal, while working from the back of a truck. Headquartered in Fort Wayne, Ind., OmniSource Corporation has facilities in cities such as Mansfield, Ohio.
