201, 304 and 316 coil from named mills, with an MTC traceable to the heat number.
02Formed and welded to our spec
Box sections and tube welded on American-built lines to the STLIX VALLEY specification, not the market's.
03Inspected before dispatch
Dimensions checked, grade verified with an XRF analyser, and imported material screened for radiation.

Stocked in Cairo; in-stock orders ship the same day to every governorate.
