Metinox Overseas carries a full range of high-quality stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, duplex and nickel-alloy pipes and tubes for projects across the UK — from London and Birmingham to Aberdeen, Glasgow and Southampton.

Each length is manufactured under strict quality control, traceable to heat, and compliant with ASTM, ASME, API, DIN, BS EN and JIS standards.
With a robust ready-stock position and decades of metallurgical experience, we convert enquiries into delivered material quickly — whether you need a handful of seamless tubes for a heat-exchanger overhaul or multiple containers of carbon steel line pipe for a new build. UK buyers choose Metinox Overseas for real technical expertise, transparent pricing, and reliable port delivery into Felixstowe, Southampton, Tilbury and Liverpool — the right grade, fully certified, on time.
