OmniSource Corporation
 PROFILE
OmniSource lives on scraps. Irving Rifkin founded the private, family-owned scrap-metal processor and trader in 1943 to supply scrap for WWII. OmniSource was a pioneer in adopting formal quality-control programs and in turning scrap into briquettes for foundry and steel-mill furnace use. Today the company rates as one of the largest scrap recycling firms in the Midwest, but it is also expanding its presence in the Southeast. Through a network of six trading offices, it tracks national and international scrap prices and activities. OmniSource operates 28 processing facilities, a secondary aluminum smelting plant, and a heavy-media separation facility. The founder's son, Leonard Rifkin, is chairman and CEO.
