IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY In this video, see how four generations of family ownership have led Cohen to stand at the forefront of recycling innovation. 1924 - WHEN IT ALL STARTED Cohen Bros. Inc. was founded in 1924 by brothers Phil and Mose Cohen, two immigrants just looking to make a living with what they could carry in a horse-drawn cart. 1970 - SHREDDER PURCHASE In 1970, Cohen invested in the installation of an automobile shredder at its West Carrollton, Ohio facility, significantly expanding the company's capacity to process scrap. 2006 - EXPANDED FOOTPRINT Cohen's Norwood, Ohio facility, known then as King Recycling, was the first satellite yard in the Cohen network - and certainly not the last. 2010 - BRAND UPDATE The move from Cohen Bros. to Cohen Recycling, complete with a new logo, signaled the evolution of the business beyond the traditional "junk guy" model. 2017 - A NEW FRONTIER Cohen's electronics recycling division, created in 2009, became a fully realized subsidiary specializing in IT asset disposition (ITAD) services for businesses. TODAY - INDUSTRY LEADERS Cohen moved into a new headquarters building in Middletown, Ohio in 2018 to accommodate its growth. Cohen now employs hundreds of people at more than 15 sites.
