Zalev Brothers Co. is a ferrous and nonferrous metals recycler and a wholly owned subsidiary of Ferrous Processing and Trading one of the largest scrap processors in North America which is in turn owned by Detroit based Soave Enterprises. It buys steel turnings and cast iron borings mainly from the auto industry and its suppliers which it processes into briquettes. These are shipped by rail to steel minimills, integrated steel producers and foundries in Canada and the U.S.
The Zalev Brothers came to Windsor from Sarnia in 1921 and located at Mercer Street and Ellis Street East on lands which were subsequently acquired by Kelsey-Hayes. In 1946 operations were moved to a 36 ac. site of swampy scrubland on Howard Avenue which had to be drained and graded. In 1998 the Zalev family sold the scrap yard to Soave.
Zalev Brothers has long been the subject of air pollution complaints.
