The Mill Makes It. We Make It Verifiable.

1One order, however mixed the list

A real order is rarely one product. Foil from one line, plate from another, extrusions from a third, anodising from a fourth — we put them on one contract, one invoice and one shipment, so a 2 t line does not sit waiting until it fills a mill minimum.

2If it sits outside the range, we source it in

Requirements are rarely tidy. A custom temper, a fabricated bracket, a coated finish, a gauge no single mill will roll at your quantity — where an item falls outside what we hold, we buy it in through our supply network and deliver it under the same contract, with the same inspection and the same documents. You deal with one supplier from enquiry to arrival instead of assembling the chain yourself.

Sourced lines quoted as one item, one contract

3Our inspector stands on the production floor

For first orders and for any run above 20 t, our own QC is at the line for the thickness gauge check, surface inspection and packing supervision — not reading photographs sent to us afterwards. The checkpoint photographs reach you before the container is sealed, and the production status of your order can be asked for at any point between confirmation and loading.

4Gauge and flatness measured before it leaves

Thickness is checked at nine points across the width, not one. Coil camber, sheet flatness and edge burr are recorded on a checklist that travels with the shipment.

5Certificates when your project needs them

EN 10204 3.1 with the heat analysis and mechanical results, EN 10204 2.2 where that is what your file requires, third-party inspection by SGS or BV, classification society approval for marine work. Tell us at enquiry which certificate your customer will accept and we confirm, before the order, exactly what will be issued with it.

Certificate type confirmed at quotation

6Payment terms that leave room

A 40% deposit to start, the balance before delivery. Beyond that the structure is open: L/C at sight, staged payments across a long programme, or a different split on a repeat order. If the standard terms do not fit how you are funded, say so at quotation and we will work something out.

2.2 — statement of compliance

The supplier states the material meets the standard. No test values, no heat analysis, no named signatory. It is a declaration, and it is the default a lot of export desks issue because it commits nobody to a number.

3.1 — inspection certificate

Carries the actual heat analysis and the mechanical test results, signed by the mill inspector who ran them. If a classification society, an aerospace customer or a pressure-vessel code sits behind your project, 3.1 is normally the minimum accepted.
