Towanda Iron & Metal Inc.
Towanda Iron & Metal Company (TIMCO) is located in the heart of Towanda, Pennsylvania, on the Susquehanna & New York (S&NY) Railroad and the former Lehigh Valley Railroad spur, now being called Conrail. TIMCO is accessible to all vehicle traffic from Route 6. TIMCO was purchased by M. Barry Aronson, in 1947 from Sol Spitulnik.
Ferrous scrap is one of the most recycled materials in the world today with over 50% of the world’s steel produced from scrap. TIMCO collects, processes and markets recycled ferrous metals to many of the USA steel and foundry industries. TIMCO’s recycling meets and exceeds many of the standards that are required by the Company’s customers. Continued investment by TIMCO in the latest technology ensures that the Company achieves increased productivity, better quality output and an improved cost base.
TIMCO is engaged in the buying, grading and preparing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, newsprint and corrugated for resale to steel mills, smelters and foundries. The company operated as an “open air” manufacturer, buying its raw material from industry, brokers and individuals preparing and changing the shape of the material for its customer (the foundries).
TIMCO’s commitment to recycling has help extend the life of the world’s dwindling base metal resources. Metal produced from recycling uses significantly less energy in the process than metal produced from virgin ores. This results in a significant reduction in the production of greenhouse gases.
