About us

American Iron & Metal (AIM) is a family-owned, Canada-based company founded in 1936. Since that day, AIM has grown to be recognized as one of the World’s most sophisticated metal recyclers, specializing in the recovery and recycling of scrap metal by-products. With the growth and support of our 4,000+ valued employees, we have evolved into a successful and multifaceted company with a global footprint and over 125 sites worldwide. The primary reason? An effective and thorough development strategy. Today, AIM’s operations are headed by its founder’s successors: Herbert, Ronald, and Ricky Black, who have vowed to uphold the company’s long-established standards for quality. From its humble Canadian origins, we have grown to become a sophisticated leader in ferrous and non-ferrous metal recycling (AIM Recycling), decommissioning & demolition (Delsan AIM), auto-parts sales & recycling (AIM Kenny U-Pull), manufacturing of solder assemblies (AIM Global Solder Solutions), construction waste recycling (AIM Eco-Centre), and production of customized industrial & mining products (AIM Minesource).

  • Embrace the power of aluminum recycling! Shredded aluminum is not just a material, it’s a cornerstone for sustainability across many sectors.   At AIM, we're passionate about maximizing the potential of aluminum recycling through advanced technologies and processes. Not only is it environmentally friendly but also remarkably efficient. Recycling aluminum consumes significantly less energy compared to primary aluminum production, while maintaining high quality through multiple recycling cycles. This makes it a sustainable choice for industries such as automotive, construction, and aerospace.   We take pride in our state-of-the-art aluminum sorting, using the newest in innovative technologies. These advancements ensure that our aluminum scrap is meticulously sorted and classified, meeting stringent quality standards for diverse applications. ———————————— Profitez de la puissance du recyclage de l'aluminium ! L'aluminium déchiqueté n'est pas seulement un matériel, c'est une pierre angulaire du développement durable dans de nombreux secteurs. Chez AIM, nous sommes passionnés par l'optimisation du potentiel du recyclage de l'aluminium grâce à des technologies et des processus avancés. Ce procédé est non seulement respectueux de l'environnement, mais aussi remarquablement efficace. Le recyclage de l'aluminium consomme beaucoup moins d'énergie que la production d'aluminium primaire, tout en conservant une qualité élevée à travers de multiples cycles de recyclage. Il s'agit donc d'un choix durable pour des industries telles que l'automobile, la construction et l'aérospatiale. Nous sommes fiers de notre système de tri de l'aluminium, qui utilise les technologies les plus récentes et les plus innovantes. Ces avancées garantissent que nos déchets d'aluminium sont méticuleusement triés et classés, et qu'ils répondent à des normes de qualité rigoureuses pour diverses applications.

  • Leading up to Global Recycling Day, the AIM Recycling team visited local schools throughout Ontario to assist in educating students on recycling and environmental responsibility. During these visits, each class engaged in fun activities and an interactive presentation on metal recycling, discovering how everyday items like pop cans, fridges, and cars can be recycled to reduce waste and support the circular economy. One school in particular used this time to introduce an exciting new school initiative — a battery and aluminum can recycling drive, organized by their teacher Mrs. Stacy Kok. Until the end of April, students will continue to collect these items and sell them to AIM Recycling, with all proceeds donated to Food4Kids. This initiative combines their February and March units, teaching valuable lessons on sustainability, healthy eating, and giving back to the community. AIM Recycling also used this time to debut its new children’s book, Dinos in the Scrap Yard: A Metal Recycling Adventure! The story follows a young boy named Theo on a scrap yard adventure, making metal recycling fun and accessible for young readers. Though still in development, the book has already captured imaginations and is expected to become a valuable educational tool across North America. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gYuAzyYN
