The History of Lombard Metals

Leonard Berger and John Ruttenberg founded Lombard Metals in 1981. We are wholesale distributor of discount metal products, which includes excess, surplus, and salvage.

Initially the company handled primarily salvage Steel Coils. As the company grew, the product line has expanded to include all types of Carbon Steel products, as well as, Stainless, Aluminum, and other metals. We now buy and sell Coils & Sheets, Structurals, Plate, Tubing, Bars, and much more.

Today, Lombard Metals is one of the largest spot buyers of excess, surplus, and salvage metals in the country with yearly sales of approximately $25 Million. We have the financial strength to purchase any size deal.
