Legend Smelting and Recycling was established in 1982 as a small non-ferrous metal recycling center in Newark, Ohio. Not long after, Legend pivoted to catalytic converter recycling, making them one of the first companies to capitalize on this valuable resource. Since then, Legend has continued to lead the industry in developing new and innovative recycling technologies.

Maryland Core, Inc. began as a small automotive recycling business out of the back of a pickup truck and storage unit over 20 years ago.
