OUR STORY
How we turned our passion into a thriving business
From a humble beginning as an immigrant with a horse and cart at the turn of the 20th century, our family has always maintained a commitment to customer relationships, honesty and integrity.
Four generations later, Becker Iron & Metal has emerged as one of the leading scrap metal recyclers in and beyond the Midwest. Our St. Louis area location, railroad and barge access, volume and industry expertise allow us to obtain the best sales prices possible for our customers. We are dedicated to upholding our foundation through an undeterred focus on customer service, quality control, environmental stewardship and health and safety programs.
