In 2009, Kodiak Resources got its start in Owensboro, Kentucky. By 2011, the company had expanded south to Texas City, Texas, under the name Kodiak Metals Recycling. Kodiak then expanded to Toledo, Ohio, in 2014 and New Orleans in 2017 under Kodiak Warehouse LLC. By 2018, Kodiak Metals Recycling had expanded to Houston.

During each job, Kodiak Metals Recycling's management team stays in direct contact with the project supervisor to ensure the job is going as planned. Kodiak's management and team members understand the importance of each job they take on. The company designates management teams to oversee that teams have all the equipment necessary to remove recyclables in a timely fashion. Kodiak is "hands on" until the job is completed.
'Best scrap company'
When a Calgary-based energy company needed to quickly vacate its 32-acre Houston laydown yard, Kodiak Metals Recycling stepped up to help make it happen. The yard was full of drilling rig components, such as derricks, subs, draw works and mud tanks, and all of it had to go. A fleet of heavy haul oilfield trucks was brought in to assist. Kodiak kept the yard open on weekends to keep the trucks rolling.
Many of the pieces to be scrapped were proprietary, and the customer was concerned about them getting back into the market. Kodiak was able to ease the customer's concerns by providing photographic proof of the material being cut and a corresponding affidavit of destruction for each piece. The customer was particularly impressed by what it called "flawless paperwork documentation."
In the end, Kodiak Metals Recycling received over 5,000 gross tonnage in 15 days (with some days coming close to 1 million pounds). Kodiak's team was able to accommodate 24 truckloads per day from this job while still handling day-to-day customers and being open to the public. Most importantly, the job was completed with zero accidents or environmental incidents.
The coordinator for the project conducts oilfield yard cleanups all over the country and said, "Kodiak is by far the best scrap company I have ever worked with."
