American Iron & Metal Co-Laval

Founder of American Iron and Metal (AIM) Peter Black began his small business in humble fashion on Moreau street in Montreal in 1936. Carrying on that tradition, his successors Herbert and Ronald Black have made a commitment to uphold those high standards of quality

Over the years, the company has branched out and now specializes in the recycling of metals and the transformation of industrial norms regarding the environment. Thanks to management’s ongoing commitment to excellence, AIM is now widely regarded as one of the most innovative recycling companies in the world. AIM employs a team comprised of experts who are at the forefront of their field while providing a vital link between the preservation of natural resources and answering the growing needs of the metal recycling industry. Our management team’s primary objective is to help you fully benefit from the power of metal.

AIM is a Canadian company with global reach which has been serving the metal industry since 1936. Specializing in the recuperation of scrap metal by-products, AIM recycles them into precious raw materials.

From the factories from which they buy their scrap metal to be recuperated, to the foundries to which they resell the finished product, AIM plays an important role and has established an unparalleled reputation built as much on integrity as its commitment to its clients. 

AIM recuperates, weighs, sorts, conditions and recycles scrap metals like iron, steel, copper, aluminum, stainless steel and many alloys. 

 AIM’s success rests on several key factors: the reliability of its quality control, a transportation network which is adaptable to client needs, state-of-the-art equipment and machinery, top-flight facilities, cutting edge laboratories, heavy volume of scrap metal sales wordwide and the unparalleled wealth of experience of its personnel. Both management and staff understand the importance of their role in maximizing economic potential of metal.
