C&C owners Gaylon and Geoff Cowan are delighted with their newest acquisition. “Al-Jon has been a family-owned and operated business since John Kneen opened it in 1963.

The name will change but the scrap processing equipment together with back-up service and parts support we supply to the market will be the same or better.” said Spry. The company will continue to operate out of its 200,000 sq.ft. Ottumwa, Iowa facility.
