Metalworking & Contract

Metalworking & Contract Manufacturing for Industry, B2B and Trade Professionals

METALXACT supports companies with metalworking, precise contract metal manufacturing and custom metal parts for industry, mechanical engineering, plant engineering, metal construction, construction projects and trade professionals. From metal cutting to size through sheets, plates, tubes and profiles to folded parts and surface finishes, we provide solutions that suit construction, assembly and further processing.

At METALXACT, companies configure material, shape, dimensions, material thickness, quantity and – depending on the product – available surface options directly online. This combines the procurement of metal made to measure with clear product routes and a structured ordering process for individual parts, small batches and repeat B2B requirements.

Metalworking for Industry, B2B and Trade Professionals

Professional industrial metalworking requires precise dimensions, suitable materials, clean processes and a product shape that can be integrated without unnecessary rework. METALXACT supports the procurement of sheets, profiles, tubes, bars and formed sheet-metal components – from an individual part to project-related or recurring requirements.

Benefits for Your Procurement

• Select and configure custom metal parts online
• Plan cuts for sheets, plates, profiles, tubes and bars
• Use folded parts and sheet metal bends for technical connections, covers and cladding
• Compare aluminium, stainless steel, steel, brass, copper and galvanised steel
• Take account of powder coatings and surface finishing on a product-by-product basis
• Structure individual parts, project quantities, small batches and serial requirements

Metalworking Service Areas

Contract Metal Manufacturing for Industrial Applications

Contract metal manufacturing is useful when companies want to outsource individual project-related work steps or need additional manufacturing capacity. Depending on requirements, this includes metal cutting, sheet metal processing, bending, profile cutting and surface finishing.

The combination of material selection, precise cutting and the right product shape is particularly suitable for industrial companies that require metal parts tailored to construction, assembly and further processing rather than standard stock goods.

When Is Contract Metal Manufacturing Worthwhile?

• when internal machine capacity needs to be relieved for a project
• when cutting, bending or finishing is needed as a defined work step
• when special dimensions are required instead of standard dimensions
• when individual parts, small batches or recurring B2B requirements are planned
• when sheets, profiles and folded parts are required as an integrated solution

Product Bridge: Suitable Metal Products for Your Project

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

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

Sheets and Plates Made to Measure

Custom metal sheets and plates are suitable for protective covers, machine cladding, base plates, housings, technical panels, wall cladding and components in plant engineering. Material, thickness, surface, length, width and quantity should always match the intended application.

Tubes, Bars and Custom Metal Profiles

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

Folded Parts and Sheet Metal Bends

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

Materials for Industrial Metal Parts

Aluminium for Lightweight Constructions and Cladding

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

Stainless Steel for Durable, High-Quality Components

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

Steel and Galvanised Steel for Strong Constructions

Steel is suitable for robust frames, brackets, workshop construction, mechanical engineering and technical components. 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 transition from a technical requirement to the appropriate product group. Depending on the product, you can select material, shape, dimensions, thickness, quantity and available surface options online.

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

Commercial Bridge: Metalworking, Product Selection and Configurator

Anyone searching for metalworking or contract manufacturing usually already faces a specific procurement decision: a sheet is required for machine cladding, a profile must be cut for a substructure, a folded part must be made as a connection, or a visible component needs a coloured finish. This is where METALXACT links product selection directly to the appropriate ordering route.

The most important commercial entry points are metal made to measure, 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.
