Integrity Metals

What Integrity Metals does

Integrity Metals is a privately held, family-owned scrap metal recycling and processing business headquartered in Morristown, Indiana, and operating since 1951 under the founding Glazer family, now in its fourth generation. The company purchases ferrous metals (autos, appliances, sheet iron, farm equipment, industrial scrap, heavy melt, unprepared steel) and non-ferrous metals (copper pipe and wire, aluminum cans, insulated wire, yellow brass, radiators, electric motors) from residential and commercial/industrial customers across Central Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, then processes them through shredders, balers, shears, and aluminum briquetting equipment at three locations (Morristown, Connersville, and Richmond, the latter operated under the Richmond Scrap Processors subsidiary) before reselling to steel mills, foundries, and smelters.

The core technology base is industrial rather than digital: state-of-the-art processing equipment paired with on-site weighing scales, conveyor systems, and an internally controlled logistics fleet of 20 semi tractors and roll-off trucks supported by several hundred trailers and containers in sizes from 10 to 65 cubic yards. The company complements purchase and processing with adjacent services, including custom scrap management plans, on-site equipment installation (self-dumping hoppers, corrugated balers, barrel crushers, floor plates), 24/7 dispatch with real-time GPS tracking, and camera-based 24/7 monitoring of customer scrap areas. Distribution is direct: physical retail drop-off at the three yards plus on-site container placement and pickup for larger commercial accounts.

Revenue is generated through the spread between commodity-priced purchase and commodity-priced resale, supplemented by equipment rental and custom scrap management services. GTM is sales-led and regional, relying on physical locations, direct phone contact with live operators, and word-of-mouth in the Central Indiana market. There are no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, public listings, patents, certifications, partnerships, or revenue figures, and no AI or software platform capabilities are referenced. The competitive position rests on long-tenured brand reputation, owned capital infrastructure, and multi-site regional density rather than technology differentiation.

Broad incumbents

• EMR Group: One of the world's largest metal recyclers with significant U.S. operations following acquisitions. Competes in the same ferrous and non-ferrous scrap processing market but at global scale with sophisticated downstream offtake.
• Radius Recycling (formerly Schnitzer Steel Industries): Large publicly-traded scrap metal recycler operating across the U.S. with auto shredders, ferrous and non-ferrous processing, and mill ownership. Comparable in core activity (scrap processing and resale) but vastly larger scale and integrated downstream.
• Commercial Metals Company (CMC): Integrated metals recycler and manufacturer with scrap processing yards feeding its own mills. Operates comparable ferrous and non-ferrous scrap collection/processing activities but with vertically integrated downstream demand and national scale.
• OmniSource Corporation: One of the largest metals recyclers in the Midwest and now part of Steel Dynamics. Operates a multi-state scrap processing network serving ferrous and non-ferrous markets comparable to Integrity Metals, but at materially larger scale with integrated mill demand.
• American Iron & Metal (AIM): Major North American scrap metal recycler headquartered in Canada with growing U.S. Midwest operations. Comparable end-to-end scrap processing (shredding, shearing, brokerage) but operates across a much larger geographic footprint than Integrity Metals.

Direct peers

• Newell Recycling Mid-America: Regional Midwest scrap metal processor with multiple yards. Comparable mid-market competitor offering ferrous/non-ferrous processing, container services, and industrial account management in overlapping geography.
• Cohen Recycling: Midwest-based scrap metal recycler with multiple yards serving Ohio and surrounding states. Closely matches Integrity Metals in scale, geography, and full-service scrap processing (ferrous and non-ferrous) for both retail and industrial customers.
• Huron Valley Steel Corporation: Regional scrap metal recycler headquartered in Michigan with multiple processing yards. Comparable mid-sized competitor with similar service offerings (ferrous/non-ferrous processing, container services, industrial accounts) in the broader Midwest region.
