ASTM A240 Stainless Steel Sheets Distributors & Exporters Worldwide – Stainless Steel Sheet (304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321, 310S, 430, 409/409L)

Metline is a full line processor and service center for stainless steel sheets. Metline can supply stainless steel sheets in wide dimension range and any steel grade as per ASTM A240 manufacturing specification. We maintain extensive inventory of stainless steel sheets in thickness range of 0.2mm to 6mm to meet the immediate purchase requirements of our customers. Stainless steel sheets are normally available in cold rolled form in thickness upto 6mm, but can also be made available in hot rolled form (3mm to 6mm) if required. We have in house facilities to process cold rolled stainless steel sheets (2B finish) to Matte finish, Hair Line Finish, Mirror Finish and other finishes on request from our customers. However, finishing of stainless steel sheets is not possible in case of hot rolled sheets.

Metline is engaged in the export of stainless steel sheets for more than 10 years now, making us the most preferred choice of vendor to major contracting companies and industrial enterprises. In case of Ex-stock goods, we can offer immediate deliveries for stainless steel sheets, while for goods which need to be made to order, we can provide deliveries within 25-45 days, depending on the size and quantities.

We have end to end production and processing facilities for stainless steel sheets, from incoming material inspection to shearing, slitting, polishing to various surface finished, packaging, and delivery. If you are looking for a honest and reputed supplier of stainless steel sheet products (stainless steel coils, stainless steels, stainless steel plates, stainless steel strips), please contact us.
