Holland, Michigan-based PADNOS has been recycling for 100 years. It is bringing that tradition to Elkhart with the acquisition of Sam Winer & Company Inc.
The new location will operate as PADNOS Elkhart. The company also acquired Howe Auto Sales in Bay City, Michigan; and Grandpa’s Garage in Traverse City, Michigan.
“These three acquisitions align with our strategy to grow our regional network,” said Jonathan Padnos, president and CEO of PADNOS, in a press release. “PADNOS looks forward to serving the communities in Elkhart and Bay City, while continuing to serve in Traverse City.”
PADNOS is a fourth-generation, family-owned company that was founded in 1905. It recycles metals, vehicles, bulk paper and plastic and electronics.
“We look forward to growing our recycling center footprint and providing the great PADNOS customer service experience at these new locations,” said Ben Irwin, PADNOS CFO.
PADNOS has 30 locations in Michigan and Indiana, including a recycling center in Buchanan, Michigan. It has more than 900 employees.
