Built one honest transaction at a time

Gilani EcoMetals was born from humble origins — a peddler business started in the 1980s, going door to door collecting scrap metal. In those early days the work was physical, the margins thin, and the value in every kilogram of iron was earned through effort and integrity.

Over four decades the business passed through generations, each building on the last. What was once a single-person operation grew into a family enterprise with reach across Gujarat. Today the third generation carries the same values forward: honest weighing, fair pricing, and dependable service.

Ours is not just a scrap trading business — the family is active across multiple branches of the recycling industry. We believe recovering and recycling material is not just a business, but a responsibility to the environment and the community.

Our Journey

Four decades,
one family

Each generation added something — reach, materials, machinery — without changing how business gets done.

The Peddler Years

The first generation begins collecting scrap door to door in Ahmedabad — ferrous metal, old tin, salvaged iron. The foundation of trust is laid one transaction at a time.

1990s

Growing the Trade

Operations expand as the second generation joins. Relationships deepen with industrial clients, and Gujarat’s manufacturing boom creates new demand for reliable scrap collection and supply.

2000s

Diversifying Into Non-Ferrous

The material portfolio broadens — aluminium, copper, brass and stainless steel join the mix. Logistics partnerships enable statewide reach across Gujarat.

2010s

Beyond Metal

Cardboard, industrial paper and turnkey site clearance are added, letting clients hand over an entire waste stream rather than sorting it themselves.

Today

Third Generation, Expanding Vision

The third generation now leads Gilani EcoMetals, with a commitment to sustainability, honest trade, and long-term partnerships with businesses across Gujarat.

What We Stand For

Four principles that haven’t changed

Honest Trade, Every Time

Certified weighing, clear documentation and straightforward settlements. We do not make deductions without reason, and we explain every figure.

Sustainability at the Core

Scrap recycling keeps material in the circular economy and out of landfills. Every tonne handled reduces the need for virgin ore extraction.

Long-Term Partnerships

We are not interested in one-time deals. Hundreds of businesses come back because we are consistent, fair and easy to work with.

Grading Expertise

Four decades in the trade means we identify grades accurately, advise on material preparation, and tell you what your scrap is worth before we pick it up.

Dismantling done responsibly

Site clearance and machinery dismantling carry real risk. We work to defined safety standards and handle every stream — including waste oil — through proper channels.

Ethical dismantling

Trained handling of heavy machinery and structural steel during plant decommissioning.

Waste oil kept out of drains

Used oil is collected and diverted to biodiesel production and industrial processing.

GSTIN registered & documented

Full commercial documentation on every transaction — GSTIN 24OHPPS8970H1Z7.
