c.1935
The
Holtman brothers were born and raised in Park City and Salt
Lake City Utah.
c.1946 It
all began in 1946 as Wasatch Metal and Salvage. The
Holtman brothers with their father and founder of Wasatch Metal
and Salvage, Arthur Holtman.
c.1950–1960 The
main goal was to run an honest and full service junk yard.
They
collected
scrap metal, cars, boilers,
water
heaters, etc. and if they heard of a place with some scrap,
they’d go and pick it up. Once they brought material
in, it would be sorted. If the metal was unsuitable for
re-sale, it would be cut up and loaded onto train cars
and trucks to ultimately be recycled. In those days, all
the
loading
was
done by hand. Scrap metal dealers were recycling before
the term was invented!
1972 Wasatch
Metal and Salvage was selling carefully
selected, reusable steel from their stock. As time went
on, their business
and customer base grew and grew even more, customers wanted
more and more of their great quality steel. Wasatch Metal
and Salvage were recognized as the
steel experts who had the right
steel product for their customers’ project.
1977 Wasatch
Steel, Inc. was incorporated, creating the “Steel Supermarket”.
A full line of new inventory now complimented
the used and surplus material.
FAMILY Today,
Wasatch Steel is still a family owned company with Bill
Holtman as owner of the company and his daughter
Teresa Holtman-Wu and son-in-law Lynn Hurst, who actively
run and manage the
company
today.
