One of Houston's premier processors and suppliers of ferrous scrap metal — connecting the local market to mills around the world.
Gold Star Metals buys scrap metal from scrap producers and other yards, processes and cuts it to grade, and supplies steel mills across the globe. We purchase across the greater Houston market, procure by rail throughout Texas and bordering states, and ship to both domestic and international mills.
What sets us apart is a combination most yards can't match: high-volume processing capability, direct access to global markets, and generations of industry expertise. Together, they let us ensure suppliers get the maximum value possible for their scrap metal.
