Steel range 2022/ 2023
Hello everyone!
I propose you to discover our new range of steel for the period 2022-2023. In total 7 references of quality steels, 5 carbon steels and 2 stainless steels. All these steels come from our partnership with Ground Flat Supply, an English company specialized in high precision steel for more than 30 years.
You wish another reference of steel, a particular dimension or you have a question. Please contact Ellioth at ellioth@mercorne.fr.
We try to make two restocking per quarter, for more reactivity!
