Our Founders

Where It All Started

MOME is built on a legacy of hands-on industry experience that spans over three decades in South Florida.

Mo

Co-Founder

Mo entered the metal recycling industry in the 1980s, starting by personally picking up end-of-life vehicles for customers across South Florida. In 1991, he opened his first scrap and recycling facility in Miami, built from the ground up. Over three decades, he built one of the most experienced recycling operations in the region. Mo's deep understanding of every level of the business, from scale operations to market pricing, is the foundation MOME was built on.
