| In 1947 E. H. Rudoy began a legacy with his purchase of Block Salvage Company, a small scrap yard, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. He changed the name to Block Iron & Supply Company to better reflect the scope of business he had planned. The company became a supplier of new steel and building supplies, and a recycler of scrap metals, servicing industry and supplying prepared scrap to the local foundries. His innovations in handling and processing scrap metals gained him a reputation within the industry, and was key to propelling the company's initial growth.
Expansion followed through acquisition, and Sadoff & Rudoy Industries was born in 1964 with the purchase of Sadoff Iron & Metal Company in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Mr. Rudoy's vision brought Wisconsin's first automobile shredder to Fond du Lac, along with key processing equipment that established the company as a major Midwest processor and supplier to both the foundry and steel mill industries. Additional acquisitions and new operations from 1964 to today have propelled the company to its current status of six scrap metal processing operations in Wisconsin and one in Lincoln, Nebraska. In 2005, Sadoff and Rudoy Industries began the process of divesting of the family of Block Iron and Supply Company businesses to focus on the scrap metal recycling industry.
Sadoff & Rudoy Industries, LLP continues to grow today, with over 220 employees working to extend the high levels of quality and service that are the cornerstone and philosophy of the company and its founder.
Today, Mr. Rudoy's three grandsons are all working within the business, ensuring the philosophies of the founder continue through the generations. |
