We use our significant spending power to pass along better pricing, better delivery performance, flexible MOQs, and other advantages that help our customers. Product development often requires a small amount of metal with specialized material properties, delivered fast and at a fair price. And in this market, that can be nearly impossible without a powerful supply chain partner.
A Wide Array of Inventory Available
Our vast supply chain allows us to offer customers more than 160 alloys and 20,000 metal products. And if we don’t have the material you need at the moment, there’s a good chance we can secure it through our network.

Our Service Center Processing Capabilities
Cut-to-Length
Our blanking line can handle widths up to 30" and gauges as light as .004. We uncoil your metal, straighten or flatten it, then cut and auto-stack to the lengths you require. We're happy to help whether your project needs precision tolerances or manageable workpieces for ease of handling.
Cut-to-Length Capabilities
Slitting
Our slitters turn master coil into narrower strands of slit coil with the consistent measurements you require. Apart from width: coil support, inner diameter, size, edge condition, accumulation method and interleaf are all characteristics imparted during final slitting.
Slit Coil Size Ranges
Edging
Get the sharp edges of your slit coil smoothed or rounded to remove the burr and make it safer to handle and use in exposed applications. Conditioned edges are available in several shapes: deburred, square, round, rolled, beveled, and even custom edges.
Edge Conditioning
