Sadoff Iron & Metal Co. Plans Major Expansion

The scrap metal company Sadoff Iron & Metal has announced plans to significantly expand its recycling operations in Lincoln, Neb. The project will include relocating the company’s 2.5-acre site in Lincoln to a new 13-acre site in the city. The brownfield site was formerly used by the U.S. Air Force as a fuel storage area.

“We are extremely pleased and excited by this project,” says Mark Lasky, Sadoff CEO. “We have a 12-year history in Lincoln and have outgrown our current facility. We are confident that this expansion will allow us to better serve the industrial and scrap retail markets in this region.”

Sadoff Iron & Metal is a part of Sadoff and Rudoy Industries, a scrap metal recycling firm headquartered in Fond du Lac, Wis. The company opened its Lincoln scrap metal yard in 1999 at the request of Deeter Foundry. In addition to its Lincoln plant, Sadoff has six scrap metal recycling facilities in Wisconsin.

The new Lincoln facility will be built in partnership with the Lincoln Airport Authority, which will issue industrial revenue bonds to cover the cost of the project. The scrap metal company will repay the Lincoln Airport Authority through fulfillment of a long-term lease agreement. 

The project will include a 15,000-square-foot nonferrous metal warehouse, a 7,000-square-foot work section for an industrial production scrap baler, a 3,000-square-foot office area and additional covered roof area for scrap metal drop-off. The parcel will be paved and engineered for “ease of use” ingress and egress traffic patterns, the company says.

According to Sadoff, the site will include Department of Environmental Quality-certified stormwater and environmental compliance features, security cameras and radiation detection. Plans also include adding scrap metal processing capabilities and technologies that will enhance the company’s ability to service scrap generators and consumers.
