Minneapolis / Minnesota / United States
Founded in 1957 by partners Henry Davis and Fred Schwartz, Alliance Steel Service Company was a pioneer in an evolving business model which was new for the time. Henry and Fred launched a new business concept for the scrap-recycling business that catered to industrial customers exclusively. They took advantage of brokering scrap from many dealers on Alliance Steel orders. As the industrial business increased, Alliance teamed up with a local hauler to provide containers and transportation for the material generated by these manufacturing facilities. This concept, although new at the time, provided a win win for both buyers and sellers for price, quality and material weight.
