Rochester Iron & Metal has completed the transition of its Logansport and Kokomo locations to Paul’s Auto Yard, where now in addition to scrap metal services the sites will sell used auto parts.
The expanded services at what was Rochester Iron & Metal-Logansport and Hunt Salvage in Kokomo follows the acquisition of all 11 Paul’s Auto Yard locations by Rochester Iron & Metal in 2023, according to a news release.
The company said it expects the transition to bring growth and improved services at what is now Paul’s Auto Yard Logansport and Paul’s Auto Yard Kokomo.
Kim Casey, co-CEO of Paul’s Auto Yard, said she looks forward to the expanded opportunities. “Being in a predominantly male industry has made being the co-CEO of Paul’s one of my most rewarding achievements,” Casey said in the news release. “I am excited about the transition and look forward to continuing to grow as a leader in this industry.”
Rochester Iron & Metal has served north central Indiana for more than 50 years. In addition to the locations in Logansport and Kokomo, it has a metal recycling facility in Rochester.
Paul’s Auto Yard offers used auto parts and scrap metal services at additional locations in Westville, Lake Station, Gary, Demotte, Merrillville, Knox, South Bend, Elkhart (two sites), Fort Wayne and Terre Haute.
