New Metals Vs. Verified Metals

Industrial Metal Service offers extensive inventory includes metals directly sourced from manufacturers as well as a wide selection of verified, verified metal remnants available at unbeatable prices for you.

Our inventory includes both new metals directly sourced from manufacturers and verified, clean metal remnants that are available at unbeatable prices. When working with Industrial Metal Service, you can trust that the quality and dimensions of the metals you purchase, including aluminum, steel, stainless steel, nickel, and titanium, will meet your needs.

As the cost of new metals continues to rise and supply shortages become more common, the budget for your operations may feel the strain. However, there is a cost-effective and sustainable alternative: using verified metals.

Verified remnant metals include metal leftovers or surplus materials from various industrial manufacturing processes. These metals offer a range of benefits and drawbacks, which you can weigh when making decisions about materials for your project.
