What Perforated Metals Plus does

Perforated Metals Plus is a Charlotte, North Carolina-based full-service distributor of perforated metal, wire cloth, expanded metal, and bar grating, established in 1992 as a subsidiary of Diamond Manufacturing Company, which the company describes as North America's leading and largest producer of perforated metal. The company maintains an inventory of more than 500 stocked items covering the most popular configurations, material types, and thicknesses across its four core product lines, and it supports same-day shipping on orders placed by noon EST. Beyond distribution, it offers value-added fabrication services including punching, shearing, bending, welding, powder coating, and anodizing, and it routes custom perforation jobs to its sister company Diamond Manufacturing, which is capable of producing over 2,000 patterns as sheet, coil, tube, fabricated, or finished product.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and phone-driven, with a sales team that the company states has over 50 years of combined industry experience, accessible via a toll-free number and through a request-for-quote workflow on its website. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with standard net 30 payment terms referenced in the Terms and Conditions; orders are accepted from a single sheet up to 100+ units, and the company operates customer-specific stocking programs for recurring buyers. Customer segments are described horizontally across industrial manufacturers and OEMs, job shops, and construction/architecture applications such as stair treads, platforms, and infill stairway panels.

The business is privately held under Diamond Manufacturing Company (a Pennsylvania corporation), and the Privacy Policy references Reliance Inc. as the entity owning the website, indicating a possible corporate-level ownership change at the parent. With 11-50 employees and a domestic US footprint, Perforated Metals Plus is a focused, regional industrial distributor differentiated by speed of fulfillment, inventory breadth, and access to its parent's custom perforation capacity rather than by digital or technology platforms.
