OmniSource Completes Acquisition

OmniSource Corp has completed the acquisition of H. Hirschfield Sons’ business in Bay City, Mich. The facility will operate as part of OmniSource’s Michigan Division under the name OmniSource – Bay City. Other Michigan operations for OmniSource are located in Jackson, Adrian, and Jonesville, as well as scrap management facilities in the greater Detroit area.

The new facility will operate as a full service scrap-processing center for ferrous and nonferrous scrap. Major processing equipment includes a Harris 2240 baler and 800-ton shear.

The facility will operate under the direction of Arnold Williams, a 15-year OmniSource employee, who was recently named general manager.

Danny Rifkin, president of OmniSource, noted, “This acquisition supports our long-term growth strategy. It will certainly facilitate the expansion of our industrial supply base in mid-Michigan. We can assure generators and consumers alike that the OmniSource reputation for quality products, innovative service and competitive pricing will continue as we grow in Mid-Michigan.”
