Operations
Kramer Metals operates fully integrated facilities. That means that we can fully process all grades of ferrous, non-ferrous and alloy scrap metals. We do not require any outside processing service to help us handle the materials that we buy. This capability allows a chain of custody to be established for every pound of scrap metal we handle; from the time we receive material to the time that material is shipped, we maintain control. Some of our processing capabilities include baling, briquetting, torch cutting, plasma cutting, shearing, crushing and shredding.
We also operate our own fleet of trucks, which service an area from Bakersfield, CA to the Mexican border. Our dispatch and logistics department can arrange for any other domestic or international transportation needs. In addition, we also maintain a complete maintenance facility with full-time mechanics and a complete fabrication shop with full-time welder/fabricators to fully maintain all of our equipment and machinery. All of this is done on over 300,000 square feet of processing facilities.
