A Story in the Making Proler Group was founded as a result of a combination of some unprecedented successes, followed by some hard lessons, but most of all in an effort to bring truth and transparency to the scrap metal recycling industry that is typically full of secrets and silos. We look forward to serving you. A History of Integrity and Service In the early 1900s, with nothing but a horse and a wheelbarrow, Ben Proler, the founder of Proler Steel, collected bones to sell to chemical plants. Eventually, this led to his collecting surplus metal from the chemical plants to sell. Four generations and a legacy of industry successes later, CEO Cris Proler is ushering in the next era with Proler Group. "My grandfather, Izzie, my father, Bill, and godfather, Ronny, had a tremendous influence on how I carry on the family legacy," Proler says. "They have passed along invaluable industry knowledge and the strong commitment to customers that still drive the company today." Proler Group is established on the premise that customers worldwide would benefit from the experience and one-on-one service that define the Proler name. Proler Group is the result of a long-standing family vision to work more closely with customers, both locally and globally, to provide services tailored to their needs – from basic metals recycling to complete recycling program management. Solutions, Delivered Proler Group delivers effective recycling solutions fused with old-fashioned values and dedicated customer service. When it comes to our dedication to serve you, we are one of those rare companies where our word is as good as a signed contract. Unequalled experience, integrity and an extensive network of industry contacts ensure we will get the job done efficiently, ethically and cost-effectively.
