About Us

What makes metalweb different?

metalweb deliver long-term tangible benefits which enable our customers to compete in today’s challenging global market place.

metalweb was established in 2001 as a buy-out from a previous stockholding company (‘Apollo Metals’).  It has successfully grown by focusing on serving customers across a range of high technology industries.  One of metalweb’s key strengths is its people, with many colleagues having been with the company from the beginning. This provides our customers with the benefit of a wealth of experience and industry knowledge.

metalweb joined the ‘Reliance, Inc.’ (Reliance) family of companies in 2007. Reliance are an American based stockholding group listed on the NYSE and a Fortune 500 company.  As part of Reliance, metalweb adhere to the group’s high standards of integrity and compliance required, including:

  • Health & Safety standards
  • Ethical trading standards
  • Equal opportunities
  • Environmental standards
  • Export compliance requirements

Although metalweb’s origins are in aluminium, as part of the Reliance group, metalweb now stock and have direct access to a wide range of other materials, including steels, titanium, nickel alloys and copper alloys. Notably this range includes many AMS specifications which are now held in-stock either at a metalweb location in the UK or at one of the global Reliance locations.
