We take the hassle out of finding professional Aluminium Suppliers

by Admin

Aluminium is one of the most crucial building supplies in any industry. So many things in our everyday lives are built with this metal – from computer parts to car rims, it’s unlikely that we’d be able to get by without it, and we don’t want to try! 

Whether you’re a brand-new business, looking for a change, or opening up a factory in a new location, you’ll probably need to find a new supplier. If you’re looking for professional aluminium suppliers, then you don’t need to look any further than Highett Metal.  We’re committed to providing quality and honest service, to help your business on its way to success. These are our tips for making sure a supplier is right for you. 

  • Choose a business with a good reputation
    Buying low quality aluminium can have a negative impact on your company. Using poor quality or mixed metals – especially when it’s mixed with metals you don’t know about – can be harmful to your products. With research, you’ll be able to ensure your supplier uses 100% aluminium. If you want to do your bit for the environment, at Highett, we use recycled metal as well, so you can shop with peace of mind.
  • Compare prices
    We always recommend comparing prices, so you can find the right products for your business. We have found that the smallest difference in cost price and retail price can make all the difference for small businesses, so it pays to look around. You should keep in mind though, that cheapest isn’t always best, as it can indicate a lower quality metal on, or poor customer service from the prospective team.
  • Location, Location, Location!
    This is another thing to consider as you compare the prices of different suppliers. The lowest price and a helpful team aren’t so perfect if you’re having to travel for hours each time you need more aluminium. Find one close to where you live or work means you won’t be losing money on petrol or labour costs. We’re located in Mordialloc, which is what makes us professional aluminium suppliers– we’re a great choice for anyone who’s looking for round and hexagonal machining bars made from aluminium.
  • What else do they offer?
    Whether you’re buying or selling, we know we’re the right team for you. But that isn’t where your options end. We have a number of special service on offer for our customers to help make your life a little bit easier. If you’re picking up a big load of metal, and are concerned that your vehicle will be over its weight limit, we have a weighbridge for you to use – potentially saving you money on fines. We also supply free bins and pickups for all of our industrial customers. 

With the right supplier, you’ll be well on your way to success. Choose a team that understands you and your business, and that way they will be able to offer you the best services for your needs.
