We provide quick quotes, competitive pricing, and value-added services like machining and delivery to help you follow through on promises. We provide custom supply chain solutions and work relentlessly to remove the roadblocks in procurement, quality assurance, and cutting-edge innovation. Founded in 1961, Mead Metals began operations in North Minneapolis supplying brass, steel, and other metals to defense contractors, fabricators, and stamping companies. Later, the company realized it was better positioned to provide small quantities of specialty, rare, and exotic metals to manufacturers who were underserved by large metal distributors. Mead Metals grew by offering a wide variety of specialty metals and expanding its capabilities for slitting and cutting coils, edge rolling, shearing, and other processing needs. In 1976, the company moved to its current location, which provided much needed space for metal processing equipment and inventory. In 2008, adding a leveling line to shorten processing and delivery time further expanded our capabilities. Besides cut-to-length services, we started offering narrow width slitting, de-cambering, gauge correction, and temper re-rolling.
