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).

  • Recycling metal fuels the manufacturing industry! 🏭 By using recycled steel, copper, and aluminum, manufacturers save energy, reduce waste, and create high-quality products like appliances, tools, machinery and building materials. 🔧 Energy Savings: Recycling metal uses up to 95% less energy compared to mining and processing new metals. When you recycle metal, you’re helping manufacturers reduce costs, lower their carbon footprint, and create products that last. #MetalRecyclingPowers #AIMRecycling

  • AIM a récemment eu le privilège de participer au Sommet de l’Est. En tant qu’acteur clé de l’économie montréalaise — et particulièrement de l’Est de Montréal — il allait de soi pour nous d’y être présents. Ce fut une journée riche en échanges inspirants, notamment entre la mairesse de Montréal, Valérie Plante, et la mairesse de Montréal-Est, Anne St-Laurent, autour de projets porteurs pour l’avenir de notre territoire. C’est inspirant et rassurant de voir autant de leaders unis par un objectif commun : faire briller l’Est de Montréal. Chez AIM, nous sommes fiers de contribuer, depuis de nombreuses années, au développement et à la vitalité de cette région. — AIM recently had the privilege of taking part in the Sommet de l’Est. As a key player in Montreal’s economy — and particularly in the East End — it was only natural for us to be there. It was a day filled with inspiring discussions, notably between the Mayor of Montreal, Valérie Plante, and the Mayor of Montreal East, Anne St-Laurent, around promising projects for the future of our territory. It’s both inspiring and reassuring to see so many leaders united by a common goal: helping Montreal’s East End thrive. At AIM, we are proud to have been contributing to the development and vitality of this region for many years.

  • Aluminum cans are one of the most recycled materials in the world — and for good reason. They can be melted down and reprocessed infinitely without losing quality. But efficient recycling starts with proper baling. Why Non-Ferrous Balers Matter for Aluminum Cans: ✅ Higher Density Bales – Reduces transportation costs and improves efficiency at smelting facilities. ✅ Automated Sorting & Compression – Our modernized balers handle the daily high volumes, ensuring clean, contamination-free bales. ✅ Sustainability at Scale – By compacting aluminum, we save energy, reduce emissions, and keep valuable material in circulation. DID YOU KNOW? 🔹 Recycling a single aluminum can saves enough energy to power a TV for 3 hours. 🔹 It takes 95% less energy to recycle aluminum than to produce new metal from raw ore. 🔹 A well-baled load of aluminum cans can be back on store shelves within 60 days! Investing in the right baling technology isn’t just good for business—it’s essential for sustainability. The more efficient we are in handling aluminum cans, the stronger our contribution to the circular economy. Looking for a facility near you optimized in aluminum can recycling? We can help: https://lnkd.in/gAMZZsfw
