“Goodwill Industries of Greater Grand Rapids has found Padnos to be a strong and resourceful partner for our everyday Donated Goods operations. Goodwill manages over 28 million lbs of community donations annually, and as you can imagine, many items that are donated are difficult to manage. The staff at Padnos has tirelessly helped us find markets for difficult to recycle commodities. They financed equipment so we could operate more efficiently thus freeing up money that we could spend on skills training services for our community. The Padnos staff visits our plant on a regular basis to ensure that we are getting the best value from our recyclables. It is great to have such a strong partner helping our community get to a more sustainable business infrastructure.”

White Pigeon Paper Co.
Our company specializes in strategic in-plant asset removal and has grown steadily from a regional player 15 years ago to a leading international service provider today. With projects from the eastern seaboard to central Mexico to our home state of Michigan, Padnos is a partner that adds value to our scrap streams by ensuring timely payment and working on our behalf to negotiate great pricing terms with their regional partners throughout the industry. With projects ranging from the removal of a single injection mold machine, to welding robot production lines to the stripping of an entire manufacturing facility that has been shuttered, Padnos has provided the right size and compliment of support to our operation. Together with Padnos my company is able to provide the exemplary value-added service to our customers we expect.

Thank you for the custom scrap boxes you built for us at Mill Steel. It is challenging to define in words how HAPPY we are with the product you designed and built for us. The Padnos team continues to provide an exceptional level of customer service. You have exceeded all of my expectations with this project. I had a good idea what I wanted for our application but I had convinced myself that my expectations were way too high. You turned what I thought could only be a dream into reality! The quality and design of the boxes is amazing and has given us safety and security we have been striving to achieve. They created valuable storage space for inventory on our production floor. We no longer need the designated aisle ways to access the boxes via forklift. Efficiency increased when we stopped double and triple handling material. I can’t thank the Padnos Team enough.
