1947 - Present Day
History of Block Iron & Supply Company
Block Salvage Company was started in 1947 by Ed Rudoy. His goal was to have a locally owned scrap company and for about ten years he focused only on the scrap metal business. Over the years, and due to the unstable market of scrap metal, Rudoy decided to add additional divisions to Block Salvage. In the late 1950’s Rudoy formed Block Iron & Supply by adding a hardware and building supplies division. In the late 1960’s and 70’s Rudoy then added hollow metal and wood doors, a frame assembly division as well as a custom steel fabrication division. Then in the late 1970’s Rudoy added the accessories division (Division 10) to round out Block Iron & Supply.
​
Through the added divisions the business grew as did the personnel. Rudoy soon became one of the top suppliers in Wisconsin. Second and third generations of the family became more active within the business and Rudoy passed Block Iron & Supply Company along to his grandsons. The grandsons continued to stay active within the industry but turned their focus back to the scrap portion of the business. This lead to a management buyout by three employee’s in the Hardware, Hollow Metal division also known as Block Iron and Supply.
​
In 2007 three employees of Block Iron and Supply purchased the Hardware, Hollow Metal and Accessories division and continued to grow this company in the Oshkosh area. The three owners brought with them over ninety-years of experience in the industry. In 2007 when Block Iron and Supply moved to their current Witzel Avenue location. They have continued to grow throughout the years and now have over 100 employees across the 4 locations including Madison, Milwaukee, Oshkosh, & Wausau.
