Industrial Metal Processing & Contract Manufacturing

Industrial Metal Processing & Contract Manufacturing for B2B

METALXACT supports companies with industrial metal processing, precise contract metal manufacturing and custom metal parts for B2B, mechanical engineering, plant engineering, metal construction, construction projects and trades. From custom metal cutting to sheets, plates, tubes and profiles, as well as folded parts and surfaces, tailored solutions are created for specific project requirements.

At METALXACT, companies configure material, shape, dimensions, material thickness, quantity and – depending on the product – the required surface directly online. This allows individual parts, small series and recurring industrial orders to be planned transparently and procured appropriately.

Procure Metal Parts for Industry, Mechanical Engineering and Plant Engineering

In industrial procurement, precise dimensions, suitable materials, predictable processes and a product form that can be integrated into the construction without unnecessary rework are important. METALXACT combines custom metal with digital ordering options for sheets, profiles, tubes, bars and sheet metal bends.

For the overarching service area, the Metal Processing & Contract Manufacturing section is also available. This industry page focuses specifically on B2B requirements, project needs, technical components, machine cladding, frames, substructures, covers and recurring orders.

Benefits for Industrial Projects

• select and configure custom metal parts online
• have sheets, plates, tubes, bars and profiles cut to fit
• plan folded parts and sheet metal bends for technical connections and covers
• compare aluminium, stainless steel, steel, brass, copper and other materials
• consider surfaces and powder coating by product
• structure individual parts, project quantities, small series and recurring requirements

Service Areas of Industrial Metal Processing

Contract Metal Manufacturing for Industrial Applications

Contract metal manufacturing is useful when companies outsource individual work steps on a project basis or require additional manufacturing capacity. Depending on the requirement, this includes metal cutting, sheet metal processing, bending, profile cutting and surface finishing.

The combination of material selection, precise cutting and a suitable product form is particularly suitable for industrial companies that want to procure metal parts not as standard goods, but to match construction, assembly and further processing.

When Is Contract Metal Manufacturing Worthwhile?

• when internal machine capacities need to be relieved on a project basis
• when cutting, bending or surface finishing is required as a defined work step
• when special dimensions are required instead of standard dimensions
• when individual parts, small series or recurring B2B requirements are planned
• when sheets, profiles and folded parts are required as an integrated solution

Product Bridge: Matching Metal Products for Industrial Projects

Industrial components rarely consist of only one product group. Machine cladding often requires sheet metal and a suitable substructure, while a technical cover additionally requires folded parts and a frame made from profiles or tubes. The following product bridge leads directly from the intended use to the suitable commercial entry point.

Sheet Metal Processing, Profile Cutting and Folded Parts for Technical Applications

Sheets and Plates Made to Measure

Custom sheets and metal plates are suitable for protective covers, machine cladding, base plates, housings, technical panels, wall cladding and components in plant engineering. The choice of material, thickness, surface, length, width and quantity should always match the area of use of the component.

Tubes, Bars and Metal Profiles

For frames, structures, racks and fixtures, custom metal profiles are available. Depending on the project, round tubes, square tubes, rectangular tubes, flat bars, angle profiles or U-profiles may be suitable.

Folded Parts and Sheet Metal Bends

A flat sheet cut becomes a functional component when it is provided with the appropriate bend. With custom folded parts and sheet metal bends, technical edges, angles, covers, U-profiles, Z-profiles, connection sheets and project-specific formed parts can be selected.

Materials for Industrial Metal Parts

Aluminium for Lightweight Structures and Cladding

Aluminium is suitable for applications where low weight, corrosion resistance and versatile processing are important. Suitable starting points are custom aluminium profiles and aluminium sheets and plates.

Stainless Steel for Durable and High-Quality Components

Stainless steel is relevant for visible structures, damp environments, hygienic applications, machine cladding and corrosion-exposed components. Suitable product areas are custom stainless steel profiles and stainless steel sheets and plates.

Steel and Galvanized Steel for Load-Bearing Structures

Steel is suitable for robust frames, brackets, workshop construction, mechanical engineering and technical components. Galvanized steel can be a suitable choice when additional corrosion protection is required for the respective operating environment. Direct entry points are custom steel profiles and steel sheets and plates.

Brass and Copper for Technical and Visible Applications

Brass and copper can be suitable for special technical, decorative or visible applications. METALXACT offers custom brass profiles, brass sheets and plates and custom copper profiles.

Configure Metal Parts Online: From Requirement to Order

The METALXACT Metal Configurator creates a direct path from the technical requirement to the suitable product group. Depending on the product, you select material, shape, dimensions, thickness, quantity and available surface options directly online.

1. Select the product group: sheet, plate, profile, tube, bar or folded part.
2. Determine the suitable material and the required product form.
3. Define dimensions, material thickness and quantity according to the project.
4. Consider available surfaces, such as powder coating.
5. Order custom metal parts suitable for procurement, assembly and further processing.

Commercial Bridge: Metal Processing, Product Selection and Configurator

Anyone looking for industrial metal processing is usually already facing a specific procurement decision: a sheet is to be used as machine cladding, a profile is to be cut for a substructure, a folded part is to be manufactured as a connection or a visible component is to be colour-finished. This is exactly where METALXACT connects product selection with the appropriate route to ordering.

The most important commercial entry points are custom metal, metal cutting, the metal configurator, custom metal profiles, sheets and plates made to measure, folded parts and sheet metal bends, powder coatings and contract metal manufacturing.
