Aluminum for service centers, distributors and re-rollers
Wide coil for you to slit and distribute, strip at your customer's width, and hot band to re-roll. Straight from the mill, with a mill test report per lot and documented origin.
What a service center or re-roller asks for
A distributor lives on having material when the customer asks for it. Relying on imports means paying a deposit, waiting two to three months for the ship and carrying safety stock. A North American mill shortens that cycle and lets you buy closer to demand.
And more end customers are asking where the metal comes from. With Almexa aluminum, the mill test report and the smelt and cast statement travel with your material to your customer.

If your customer ships to the United States, it needs to document where the aluminum was smelted and cast. Almexa provides that statement with every lot, and you pass it on with your material. Details are on the aluminum origin page.
Frequently asked questions
Does Almexa sell to distributors and service centers?
Yes. Distributors and service centers are mill customers: they buy wide coil to slit, and strip at their customers' widths, with a mill test report per lot.
What is a re-roller and why does it buy hot band?
A mill that cold rolls but does not melt or hot roll. It buys band about 0.31 in (8 mm) thick and reduces it to final gauge in its own plant.
