Appliances and white goods
Cabinets, doors, side panels and trays all start as leveled sheet and slit strip. Here flatness and a mark-free finish are not a luxury: they are the difference between a door that closes and one that comes back.
Industries
Industries we serve in Baja California
Tijuana concentrates export manufacturing, appliances, automotive and construction. All that industry needs a sheet metal supplier that cuts to size: the mill sells by the coil and the plant needs the exact size.
Automotive and auto parts
Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers in the region work with tight tolerance windows and traceability audits. We deliver strip and sheet identified by heat number, with the constant width a progressive die demands.
HVAC and climate control
Duct, plenums, air handler cabinets and covers. Galvanized is the sector's natural material, and slitting lets you feed the roll former directly without going through sheet storage.
Construction and architectural sheet
Roofing, façades, gutter, stud and light gauge profile. A badly cut width on a profile multiplies with every meter installed; that is why knife setup is checked by lot, not by shift.
Electronics and export manufacturing
Chassis, shielding, heat sinks and racks. Tijuana's export manufacturing has to answer engineering changes in days, not months: cutting here avoids the full cycle of importing already-processed sheet.
Metalworking and metal fabrication
Stamping, bending, welding and plate shops that buy material already fit to run. We are the link between the mill, which sells full coils, and the shop, which needs the exact size.
Services
Two steel cutting services for two ways of producing
The two steel cutting services Alfa Metal runs. If your process feeds sheet by sheet, you need cut to length; if it feeds from a continuous coil, you need slitting. Both are here, in the same plant and under the same quality lead.
Cut to Length / Niveladora
From coil to flat sheet, with the squareness and flatness your die actually needs.
At our Tijuana plant we uncoil, level and cut your steel, aluminum or stainless coil into sheets at the exact size you specify. Up to 4,000 mm long and 1,350 mm wide, in gauges from 0.45 to 3.5 mm.
Slitting Line / Corte a rollo
One wide coil in, several strips at the exact width out. No burr, no telescoping.
At our Tijuana plant we split your master coil into strips at the width your process calls for, with circular knives and tensioned rewinding. Thickness from 0.45 to 3.5 mm and entry widths up to 1,320 mm.
