Alinox

What Alinox does

Alinox Sp. z o.o. is a privately-held Polish industrial distributor and value-added processor headquartered in Mysłowice, Poland, operating since 2007 as part of the international Scope Metals Group. The company distributes aluminium, stainless steel, tool steel, titanium, nickel alloys, copper, bronze, brass, and engineering plastics in both commercial and aerospace grades, complemented by industrial fire protection systems (sprinklers, valves, grooved piping from partners including Victaulic, Reliable, Auma, Nibco, Mecon, Erico) and, more recently, industrial pumps.

The business is operationally anchored by a 24/7 warehouse in Mysłowice holding more than 10,000 tonnes of materials with stated 24-hour delivery across EU and non-EU markets, plus a wholly-owned Ukrainian subsidiary in Lviv. In-house processing capabilities include circular saw cutting (up to 4000mm width / 210mm thickness), waterjet cutting (2000x4000mm, 230mm thickness), CNC milling (±0.15mm accuracy), band saw cutting (700mm diameter), plotter cutting (2000x8000mm, ±0.1mm tolerance), polishing, and foil application. Quality systems are certified to ISO 9001:2015, EN 9100:2018, and EN 9120:2018, with approved-supplier status at Lockheed Martin and Collins Aerospace.

The revenue model is B2B, quote-based, with no public pricing: regional sales representatives (13+ named contacts) cover Polish voivodeships, while international sales (Gal Cornblum in English, Dmytro Yakymiv in English/Polish/Russian/Ukrainian) serve EU and non-EU accounts. Customer segments are primarily Industrial Manufacturing and Aerospace, with named accounts including PZL Mielec (Lockheed Martin), PZL Świdnik (Leonardo), Collins Aerospace, Goodrich, and Mikroma (Zodiak Group). Distribution channels combine field sales, the e-alinox.pl self-service e-commerce site, the fireprotection24.eu fire protection storefront, and trade-show presence (Paris Air Show 2023, MSPO Kielce, Aluminium Düsseldorf). Marketing relies on industry exhibitions, content (blog and a weight/price calculator tool), and Aviation Valley cluster membership rather than performance digital.
