Bensenville sits right on the O’Hare industrial corridor, bordered by Elk Grove Village’s massive business park — and its machine shops, fabricators, and warehouses generate a steady stream of carbide tooling, copper wire, and brass. Ironcrest Industrial Surplus is based in nearby Rolling Meadows and buys it all. Text a photo to 312-880-8174 for today’s price — same-day pickup.
