The 36-year-old former motion picture film broker, found shortly after World War II ended that dozens of firms using pails of all sorts toss them out when the containers are empty, largely because it's too expensive to clean them without special equipment.
Also, he learned that dozens of companies and individuals—machine shops, foundries, greenhouses and riveteers, to name a few—needed pails of all sorts which are expensive if bought new.
So, Padwa got the equipment needed to clean and straighten pails and started out three years ago.
