Plates, sheets & coils.
Flat products sourced around material, grade, condition, finish, dimensions, applicable specification and downstream fabrication.
Flat form. Application-led supply.
Plate, sheet, coil and strip can be sourced in corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, non-ferrous and engineering alloys. The correct route depends on the required standard, thickness, width, surface, edge, flatness, temper or heat-treatment condition.
Supply may originate as mill plate, coil, cut-to-length sheet, slit strip or precision strip, with processing coordinated to the requirement.
