Standards
Within our extensive inventory, there is something for everyone. The Aalco multi-metal standard stock range includes over 10,000 items and over 50% of our sales are made up of non-standard or customer-special products.
Add to that our comprehensive processing service which offers:
items cut to order
polishing
coating
blanking
We can also arrange sub-contract processing using our approved suppliers.
About - Quality
By carefully selecting our suppliers, we make sure that we only use the products of the right quality.
Every mill we use is measured against a series of predetermined quality control requirements.
All products supplied by Aalco conform to the relevant BS or international standard (a certificate of conformity or analysis can be supplied on request).
Aalco service centres operate a quality manual designed to ISO9001/2015 requirements.
The Aalco central warehouse has approval to ISO 45001:2018.
Our own handling, processing and packaging procedures ensure that these products reach you, the customer, in prime condition.
