Rotax Metals, Inc.

Our founder, Ronald Rosenthal, immigrated from his home in Germany to the United States just before World War II. He took a modest job sweeping metal fillings and debris from the warehouse floors of a prominent New York City copper and brass distributor. In between shifts, he dreamed that one day he would start a brand new company – one that would focus on stocking unusual sizes in quantities that would keep up with customer demand. Mr. Rosenthal’s sheer drive and ambition pushed him to acquire funding. He made Rotax a reality in 1947.

An analytic thinker and detail-oriented leader, Mr. Rosenthal worked tirelessly to bring Rotax to the forefront of the copper and brass industry. Many of our supplier and customer relationships were forged during these years, and still remain today.

Originally located on Spring Street in Manhattan, we consolidated all operations to a warehouse in Brooklyn in 2005, where we still operate today.

Rotax Metals also offers value added services, such as the construction of machines and structures from various raw materials based on the client’s engineering drawings. We offer welding, cutting, forming and machining saving our customers money by limiting the need for purchasing personnel to locate multiple vendors for different services.
