TW Metals

TW Metals is a specialty metal supplier with a head office in Southampton, UK. It stocks and processes tube, pipe, bar, extrusions, sheet and plate. The metals include stainless steel, aluminium, nickel, titanium and carbon alloy.

The company has more than 30 stocking locations in North America, Europe and Asia. This lets it serve customers around the world. TW Metals says it stands for integrity, respect for the individual, commitment, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.

It keeps one of the larger stocks in the specialty alloy metals business. Customers can view the online inventory and keep their own work in process low. The company ships thousands of line items a day, cut to size and just in time. Its supply partners include top mills around the world for each product group.

A strict quality and inspection program is part of the service. The company says it makes sure products meet all aerospace and commercial requirements. This makes it a source of metals for aircraft part makers as well as other industries.

TW Metals has added a new laser cutter. The 10 kW laser cuts nickel from 0.5 mm up to 25 mm and stainless steel up to 30 mm. The company says it gives clean cuts and less waste.

The company also sells and processes plastics. These include nylon, acetal, UHMWPE, ABS, PTFE, tufnol, polypropylene, acrylic, polycarbonate and polyurethane. Customers can order metals through an online store, ask for a quote or use a customer portal. The company also publishes a carbon reduction commitment and a modern slavery policy.
