During the company's first year of operation, the partners--George and his wife Louise, their son Stan Sr. and Louise's brothers James and Ed Ash--received loose scrap metal and loaded it by hand for delivery to the San Francisco Bay area “Bay Area” redirects here. For other uses, see Bay Area (disambiguation). The San Francisco Bay Area, colloquially known as the Bay Area or The Bay . Realizing that they could benefit from a baler, Stan Sr. began constructing one for the operation. It took him nine months to complete the project, which proved critical to the company's future success. A&S Metals expanded in 1979 with the installation of a shredder, at which point Stan Sr. says the business changed from a "junk yard to a scrap yard scrap yard n → depósito de chatarra; (for cars) → cementerio de coches scrap yard n → parc m à ferrailles; ( ." The shredder installation was followed by the addition of a new 4200 portable baler/logger from Sierra International Machinery, Bakersfield, Calif., in 1985. Today, Stan Sr. owns the company with two of his four children, his daughter Danette and his son Stan Jr. The Silva family's relationship with Sierra and the Sacco family continues, as A&S prepares for the delivery of a T750 shear/baler/logger in December of 2005.
