Frequently Asked Questions

What is toll processing, and how does it work for aluminum?

Toll processing means you supply the raw material — in this case, aluminum coil — and Mead performs the specified processing using our equipment. You retain ownership of the material throughout.

We confirm your specs, receive your coils, process them to requirement, keep you updated throughout, and ship the finished material back. It's a straightforward way to access precision processing without the capital investment. All part of the Mead Edge level of service. Request a Quick Quote.

What aluminum processing services does Mead Metals offer?
Mead Metals offers aluminum coil toll processing services for manufacturers who supply their own material. We process your aluminum to your specifications — including slitting, cut-to-length, and related processing — and ship finished material back ready for the next stage of your production.
What are the benefits of using a domestic aluminum processing partner?

Domestic processing reduces freight costs and transit time compared to sending material long distances or overseas.

It also simplifies your logistics chain, gives you a direct line of communication throughout processing, and eliminates the supply chain risk that comes with international sourcing. For supply chain managers focused on lead time and reliability, domestic processing is a straightforward risk reduction.

Why would I use Mead for aluminum toll processing instead of a larger processor?

Because you don't want a transaction — you want a partner who communicates.

Mead's aluminum processing is backed by the same quality management system (ISO 9001:2015 certified) and the same dedicated-rep model as everything else we do.

You'll know the status of your material, your specs will be confirmed before processing starts, and finished product will ship with full documentation. That's the kind of reliability that protects your production schedule. That's the Mead Edge.
