Andersen’s Salvage plans additional Colorado location

Greeley, Colorado-based Andersen’s Sales & Salvage Inc. has purchased land where a shuttered auto salvage firm used to conduct business to open a new location in Windsor, Colorado.

An April 8 online news item from the Greeley Tribune says Andersen’s has purchased the site of the former Martin Supply Inc. salvage yard. The newspaper cites Andersen Salvage’s Sarah Willcutts as saying the firm is cleaning up the 17-acre property before opening it this summer.

Andresen’s Salvage, on its website, describes itself as a family-owned business that has been in operation since 1959. In addition to its 38-acre Greeley location and the new site in Windsor, the company also lists locations in Atwood, Colorado, and Cheyenne, Wyoming.

In addition to self-service auto salvage, the company’s scrap processing operations have included a shredding plant since 1995. The company’s says the shredder it installed in 2008 “brings Andersen's into the premier auto shredding industry, with complete ferrous and non-ferrous production lines.”

In 2014, the company added a shredder downstream system in Greeley in cooperation with San Antonio-based Riverside Engineering, installing separation equipment from vendors including Eriez, MSS Inc. and Steinert US.

The Tribune story quotes Willcutts as saying some permits are still being finalized for the Windsor location, and the new location will operate under the name Iron Ridge Auto & Metal LLC.
