ABOUT US

Our company all began with our Tarentum Yard. It was founded in 1911 by Pasquale Greco, an Italian immigrant striving to provide a future in America for his wife and ten young children.

Initially, Pasquale purchased everything from rags, tires, cars and old iron. With hard work and dedication he grew his business and began to expand. He played a key role in scrap drives during the war years, and was honored for his endeavors in supporting his adopted country.

In his later years, he focused on the purchase and sale of scrap steel, new structural steel, and welding supplies. 

Upon his death in 1949, the business continued to flourish under the management of Pasquale Greco's 6 sons, Fred, Alec, Joseph, John, Robert and Raymond.

In 1984, the structural steel and welding business moved to individual ownership, leaving John Greco, Jr and Robert Greco, Jr operating the scrap business, P.J Greco Sons Inc. John Greco Jr's 2 sons have since joined the company to carry on the fourth generation of Greco's started by their Great-Grandfather, Pasquale, over a century ago.

In 1997 John Greco Jr expanded PJ Greco by opening our yard in Kittanning, PA. Together with his partner, John Lasher, they have continued on to open our yard in Clairon, PA in 2011 and just recently our newest yard in Homer City, PA in 2019.
