Our Story

Specialty Metals was born in September 1980 when Daniel Fried and his brother began traveling the country and purchasing low-grade precious metal scrap from jewelers, opticians, and other small businesses. Gold-filled and gold-plated watch bands and cases, dead silver-oxide watch batteries, old eyeglasses, and other low-grade scrap were the springboard that propelled us into precious metal refining business. Within three years, Specialty Metals was fully operational, processing low-grade and high-grade scrap, including karat gold jewelry, sterling silver, platinum thermocouple wire, and much more. From humble beginnings, we have grown into a multi-million dollar operation, focussing on providing our customers with competitive terms, accurate analysis and processing techniques, and fast turnaround times. Technology has changed over the last 40 years, and we’ve continued to grow and expand our capabilities as well. Our continued goal is to provide you with high quality service and accurate returns.
