Two family-owned and operated companies are forming a partnership to grow and expand Mallin Companies. Mallin Companies is a 96 year old 4th-generation family business operating two aluminum wire recycling lines in Kansas City, Missouri. GLE Scrap Metal is a 20 year old first generation family business operating six full service metal recycling centers in Michigan and Florida, a brokerage and trading division, an insulated copper wire recycling plant, and an R2-certified electronics recycling firm, Great Lakes Electronics Corporation.
GLE acquired an interest in Mallin Companies effective December 31, 2024. Mallin’s operations will remain in Kansas City, Missouri and will retain its existing leadership and employees.
Mallin Companies will continue to be operated by its president, Zach Mallin, and will have the full support of GLE Scrap Metal and its affiliates. GLE and Mallin have built a wonderful working relationship over many years, have similar values, and share a passion for growth in the recycling industry. The new partnership will allow Mallin Companies to achieve synergies to stay competitive and continue its leadership in insulated aluminum, ACSR, and URD processing. This partnership will allow Mallin to best serve its team members, its customers, and its consumers’ needs into the future.
