  • 1917 - Settling In Hamilton

Beginning with the quest for a better life in Canada, the roots of Wentworth Metal Recycling reach back as far as Eastern Europe, prior to World War I. Crossing the Atlantic Sam Rochwerg arrived in Hamilton in 1917. 

In 1933, Sam’s Auto Wrecking was established on Caroline Street North in Hamilton’s downtown core. Focusing on honest business practices, and a vast knowledge of the industry, Sam’s Auto Wrecking flourished.

  • 1981 – Wentworth Metal Recycling is Formed

Wentworth Metal Recycling was formed in 1981 when its parent company, Sam’s Auto Wrecking Co. Limited, was expropriated from its downtown location after over 50 years of operation. The Company chose a new location in the north-end industrial core where it has successfully operated since that time.

  • Today - The Family Business Continues

Truly a family business, Wentworth Metal Recycling is now in its third and fourth generations. Our founding core philosophies of honest, fair, and dignifies business, coupled with our commitment to tailored, unrivalled service, ensure an unmatched, pleasant, and prosperous relationship with the Rochwerg and extended Wentworth family.
