About Us

Over 60 years ago, Bert Appel and Charles Frydman began reclaiming scrap metals in Dayton, Ohio. Building their business one client at a time, they created Midwest Iron & Metal Company in the mid-1950s. Those were the days when business arrangements were sealed with personal trust and a handshake. Appel’s and Frydman’s commitment to hard work, integrity, and honest business relations grew the stellar reputation of Midwest Iron for more than five decades.

Today, MW Metals Group is a leader in the recycling industry, servicing over 500 industrial plants nationwide. We focus solely on the industrial sector, customizing efficient, flexible, and cost-effective scrap management programs for our supplying customers.
