The UK’s leading Copper distributor

We are the UK’s leading distributor of copper. We have built our reputation over the last two decades on providing excellent customer care and the widest range of products available.

Industry-leading supply

Metelec is the UK’s leading distributor of copper. We have built our reputation on providing excellent customer care and the widest range of products available – from copper sheets to bars, rods and wires.

We provide copper solutions for electrical power systems, generators, substations, distribution systems, switchgear, and conductor systems.

Our copper products can be found in industries including medical, automotive, construction and rail.

The only mill-owned distributor in the UK

A close relationship with our parent company Gindre means that alongside vast stock availability and first-class distribution capabilities, we can provide guaranteed supply chain solutions. We have UK industry-leading access to booking slots up to one year in advance. Our customers reap the benefits of this, where in a world of supply and demand pressures, lead times from competitors can often be up to 50 weeks.

A fully integrated supply chain partner

We fully understand the importance of our role in the supply chain of many UK and Irish industries and work hard to develop lasting relationships with our customers. We enjoy working in partnership with customers to offer sustainable products and solutions.

We pride ourselves on providing a convenient and reliable source of metals for businesses including manufacturing, fabrication and construction.

We are committed to being the very best supply chain partner we can be. We will work collaboratively with customers to achieve shared goals and create value.

Investing in our business and the environment

Metelec recently moved our operation to a brand-new facility with immediate access to the UK motorway network at junction one of the M54.

This new state-of-the-art distribution centre and headquarters reflects our dedication to solid, sustainable growth.

The move underlines our commitment to trading sustainably. Rated BREEAM Excellent for insulation and thermal efficiency, we utilise solar panels for zero carbon manufacturing using state-of-the-art all-electric CNC machinery.

The new facility has also significantly improved working conditions for our valued employees.
