Almetals

What Almetals does

Almetals, Inc. is a privately held, US-based specialty metals supplier and precision coil processor founded in 1984 and headquartered in Wixom, Michigan, with a second facility in Austell, Georgia. The company cuts, slits, and processes aluminum, stainless steel, brass, copper, fin stock, and painted aluminum coils for industrial manufacturers, operating multiple slitting lines and cut-to-length equipment with a stated annual processing capacity of 200 million pounds. Its technical capabilities center on tight-tolerance slitting (gauge .004"–.190", widths .250"–60"), cut-to-length sheet and blanking, annealing for aluminum under 12 inches, Gamma-Ray-Gauge in-line thickness monitoring, and ancillary services such as protective film application, paper interleaving, and excess-inventory resale. The company also brokers a broad alloy catalog (aluminum 1050–6061, brass 210–268, stainless 201–444, copper 102–122) and serves stamping, roll forming, tube producers, hinge, HVAC, automotive, and solar end markets.

Almetals monetizes through direct one-time sales of metal products with a 500-pound minimum order quantity and through toll/contract processing services for customer-owned material. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; JIT shipments are delivered within a 2–3 week standard turnaround on in-stock items from a direct enterprise field-sales motion that assigns dedicated sales managers to assist product development. The company reports a 99.92% quality shipped rate, claims 450 years of cumulative team industry experience, and has received multiple Zero Defects and Delivery Excellence awards from automotive tier-1 customers BorgWarner and Federal Mogul, as well as a Franklin Blue Chip Enterprise Gold award.

Almetals is owner-operated with no disclosed parent, no venture funding, no active M&A activity, and limited digital marketing presence beyond a corporate website, request-quote workflow, and periodic email newsletter. Its competitive positioning rests on established OEM qualifications, capital-intensive slitting and annealing capacity, two-site Midwest/Southeast logistics coverage, and deep alloy/temper expertise rather than on proprietary software, AI/automation, or new-product innovation.
