NGA has maintained its rich tradition of service for over a century!

In the early 1900’s Norm’s grandfather, Sam Gordon, founded one of the first recycling companies in Chicago. The recycling facility was located in what is now the South Loop, and there, S. Gordon and Sons serviced many Chicago and suburban businesses. Together with his sons Sid, Will, Lou, and Ben, Sam Gordon formed a successful and renowned business. After graduating college Norm later joined the family business, continuing into the third generation.

With his invaluable knowledge and experience, Norm was inspired to start his own recycling company and created Norm Gordon & Associates, Inc. (NGA). His comprehensive understanding of industrial recycling led him to a philosophy he still upholds today. He realized hands-on experience in all fields of recycling played an integral role in running a successful business and making customers feel comfortable with the process. NGA now thrives upon four generations of extensive knowledge of business ownership, the waste process of recycling, and efficient movement of recyclables from customer to processing mills.

Member Spotlight: Norm Gordon & Associates

Norm Gordon and Associates are a Northbrook-based independent paper and paper product brokerage firm that focuses on printing companies, offices, distribution warehouses, banks, insurance companies and other commercial/industrial institutions. They collect large volumes of paper from many locations and ship it to mills all over the country for processing.

In the past, when the market prices for paper and other recyclables were at their peak, the customer was paid for its paper 100% of the time. Even now, in these times of struggling markets, the company is able to make paper collection profitable for over 90% of its customers.

Norm Gordon and his son, Chad, are the third and fourth generation of paper recyclers in the Gordon family. His grandfather, Sam Gordon, started S. Gordon and Sons as one of the first paper salvage businesses in Chicago during the early 1900s. The company was started when the elder Gordon discovered paper mills that were interested in reprocessing newspaper and office paper.

Norm started working for the family business as Operations Manager in 1971. At that time, the company was being run by his father and his uncles. Norm Gordon initiated his own company in Northbrook, IL as his father and uncles prepared for retirement. He manages the company with his son, Chad, serving as Vice-President.
