Rapid Metals Nuneaton

Nuneaton has a long history of engineering businesses and workshops and is still home to many businesses supplying the automotive, aerospace and engineering industries. If you’re one of those enterprises continuing that engineering tradition, in construction, a tradesperson, a crafter or a hobbyist, then you probably find yourself searching for “metal suppliers near me”.  

Rapid Metals is the answer to your requirements for metal of all types and quantities. We’re a trusted East Midlands metals stockist and have been providing Nuneaton businesses and people with the metal they need for over 25 years. We can provide the metal you need, whatever the purpose, whether through our online store or if 

you come to our physical location in Nuneaton on the Centrovell Industrial Estate. That’s just off the A444 road, so is also easily reached from Coventry, Hinckley and other nearby locations.  

Not every metal supplier you may find in a quick search for “metal suppliers near me” can provide the range of metals that Rapid Metals can, nor the broach choice of shapes, profile and forms. Rapid Metals allows our buyers to customise the dimensions of many of the orders, so customers in Nuneaton won’t have wasted metal when the task, job or order has been completed. We can ship orders with lengths or sides up to 3000mm by courier, but can supply larger items for collection in store at Nuneaton.  

This is not something that every East Midlands metal supplier can offer. From cast iron bars and brass angle, to tool steel and welding supplies, Nuneaton can rely on Rapid Metals.
