Raw material in
It all starts with the right material: raw sheet and tube, selected and ready to enter the cycle.

One product. One point of management.
Most fabricators perform one stage and pass the part to the next supplier. We follow the component from start to finish — and answer for quality across the whole chain.
Step by step
Watch the part transform, stage by stage.
Every processing stage is in-house or coordinated by us. No back-and-forth, no grey areas of responsibility.
Laser cutting, sheet and tube
The raw material is cut to size with tight tolerances, on sheet and tube. It's the first point where precision decides the quality of the whole part.

Threading & countersinking
Precision threads, countersinks and calibrated holes on the parts, where tolerances are critical.

Sandblasting
Sandblasting prepares the surface for coating: it removes oxides and machining residues and gives the coating the right adhesion.

Bending & rolling
The flat part takes shape: precise bends and curves on the rolling machine. Here the component's geometry is born, ready for assembly.

Welding & assembly
The parts become a single component: clean, controlled welds on steel, stainless steel and aluminium, through to full assembly including fasteners.

Finishing
Checks, deburring and finishing: the part is prepared and inspected before coating.

Coating
The component moves to our in-house coating department: protection and finish controlled in-house. It's the step that closes the "finished part" promise.

Why a single supplier
Five suppliers, or just one.
The difference isn't just convenience: it's who answers for the quality when the product arrives defective.
The fragmented supply chain
Many companies, no single management
- Five different suppliers to coordinate
- Separate management: finger-pointing at every problem
- Lead times that stack up from one company to the next
- Transport, packing and mark-ups at every handoff
- No one answers for the finished part's quality

With Metalflex
One point of management, the whole cycle
- One supplier, from raw to coated
- A single point of management for quality, always
- One-way flow, no idle time
- One order, one invoice
- The finished component, ready to fit
Integrated cycle
Production and coating, under one direction.
Dedicated departments working in parallel: all production under one roof and an in-house coating plant. More capacity, one thread running from raw material to coat.

Fabrication departments
All production consolidated: cutting, bending, rolling, welding, machining and finishing, in a one-way flow.

Dedicated plant
An in-house, dedicated coating plant: a core activity, not an afterthought. It closes the cycle and guarantees the product's finish.
Why it pays off
What changes for the buyer.
When something goes wrong, you know who to ask
One contact for the whole cycle. No buck-passing between workshop, welder and coater — the ball stays in our court.
Less downtime
Hand-offs between stages don't wait on the availability of three different companies: the part keeps moving.
One order, one invoice
Simplified handling for your purchasing office: one quote for the finished component, not a sum of operations.
Aesthetic and technical consistency
Whoever cuts knows how the product will be coated: the choices made at one stage account for the next.
