Capabilities

Processing, programs, and logistics — built around your line.

Processing, inventory programs, quality documentation, and delivery — designed to work together. Each capability below includes a plain-language explanation of what it does for you.

Slitting

Master coils slit to narrow mults with tight width and ID/OD tolerances.

In plain terms: A wide coil is unwound and cut lengthwise into several narrower coils sized to your press or roll former, so you buy the width you actually run instead of trimming it yourself.

Cut-to-Length

Sheets and blanks to length with controlled flatness and camber.

In plain terms: Coil is flattened and cut across its width into flat sheets at the length you specify — useful when your line feeds sheets rather than coil.

Blanking

Rectangular and shaped blanks ready to feed stamping and forming lines.

In plain terms: Sheets are cut to a finished shape — rectangular or die-cut to your print — so material arrives ready to load into a stamping or forming operation.

Prepainting

Coil-coated finishes — polyester, SMP, and PVDF (Kynar 500®) — color- and gloss-matched across the run.

In plain terms: Paint is applied to the coil before it is formed, giving a consistent color and gloss across the whole run and removing a painting step from your process.

Embossing

Patterned surfaces (stucco, leather, diamond, custom) rolled into coil to add stiffness, hide handling marks, or meet specification.

In plain terms: A texture is rolled into the surface of the steel. Besides appearance, the pattern stiffens the panel and makes minor handling marks far less visible.

Stocking programs

Hold your gauges and grades; release on a schedule you control.

In plain terms: We buy and hold the material your program consumes and ship it as you call for it, so you carry less inventory on your own floor without risking a stock-out.

Consignment

Dedicated inventory managed under agreed ownership, billing, and reconciliation terms.

In plain terms: Inventory sits reserved for you but is not invoiced until you draw it. Ownership, reporting, and reconciliation terms are set out in the program agreement.

Scheduled releases

Blanket orders drawn down against an agreed replenishment signal.

In plain terms: One order covers a period of usage; individual shipments are released against your schedule, forecast, or a reorder trigger you define.

Quality documentation

CMTR traceability on mill-supplied material, with PPAP packages on request (Level 3 typical).

In plain terms: Each shipment of mill-supplied material carries its certified mill test report, so you can trace the steel back to its heat and chemistry for your own audits.

Packaging

Downending, skidding, banding, and protective wrap specified per program.

In plain terms: Coils and sheets are packaged the way your receiving dock and handling equipment need them, which reduces damage in transit and speeds up unloading.

JIT delivery & logistics

Planned inventory, processing, and transportation aligned to production releases.

In plain terms: Delivery is timed to your production plan across our Midwest service area rather than shipped whenever material happens to be ready.

Expedited supply support

Rush and continuity-of-supply response drawn from program inventory and multiple sources.

In plain terms: When a schedule moves or another supplier misses, having stock on hand and more than one mill to buy from gives us more ways to respond. Call the office for rush needs.

Processing ranges

What we can run.

The ranges below cover the substrates and dimensions Performance Master processes today. Requirements outside these ranges are reviewed case by case — send the specification and we’ll confirm line fit before quoting.

For thin-gauge galvanized, send the substrate thickness, coating, width and tolerance, coil requirements, volume, and release schedule so our team can confirm sourcing and line fit against the complete specification.

Inventory programs

How a JIT steel program works.

JIT is not last-minute ordering. It coordinates purchasing, inventory, processing, documentation, and transportation around an agreed production plan.

STEP 1
Forecast demand
Share annual usage, run rate, release quantities, lead times, and expected variability.
STEP 2
Source material
We match the complete specification and timing to suitable domestic or qualified international sources.
STEP 3
Hold inventory
Program material is stored at an agreed location and target level to support production without crowding your floor.
STEP 4
Process to spec
Master coils are slit, cut, or blanked for release while CMTR and lot identity remain connected.
STEP 5
Release to schedule
Material is prepared against blanket orders, scheduled releases, or another agreed replenishment signal.
STEP 6
Deliver to dock
Shipments are coordinated with your receiving requirements, location, and production schedule.

Stocking program

Metal Master holds agreed material for planned releases, with inventory targets and replenishment rules defined for the program.

Consignment program

Dedicated inventory is held under agreed ownership, usage-reporting, billing, and reconciliation terms established in the quote and program agreement.

JIT delivery program

Processed releases are timed to agreed production and receiving requirements, supported by planned inventory and transportation—not emergency ordering alone.

Ownership, invoicing, minimum draws, inventory levels, review cadence, excess-material treatment, and delivery commitments are defined for each quoted program.
