Alco Iron & Metal Company

Established in 1953 and incorporated in 1972, Alco Iron & Metal Company, a family owned business, began operation on a quarter acre in San Leandro, California. Still owned by the same family, Alco Iron & Metal now has five large locations in Northern California with a combination of over 41 acres.

It’s amazing how dedication, hard work, and family support can foster a dream. As we open the doors to all 5 of our locations across Northern California, we’re proud to say that we came a long way from that quarter acre we started on. Today, we remain the product of that same desire to succeed. We’re still owned and operated by our family, now introducing our fourth generation to the business. It’s truly remarkable to witness the amount of progress we’ve achieved over the years. More than 41 acres of land and employing over 220 dedicated people. Here you’ll find a variety of skilled scrap metal buyers, processing crews, the best experienced  sales staff, as well as new & usable buyers. We have certified welders and demolition experts. Our company holds a total of four contractor’s licenses: A, B, Demolition & Fabrication. We go above and beyond to ensure that every member of our team is trained to deliver a pleasurable, informative experience to all of our clients.
