Unlocking Value with Excess Prime Steel: High-Quality Steel Ready for Your Project
At Collier Metals, we understand that finding premium steel at a competitive price is critical for meeting your customer commitments. That’s why we proudly offer excess prime steel—a smart solution for buyers seeking top-tier steel without the wait or premium cost of custom mill orders.
What is Excess Prime Steel?
Excess prime steel refers to prime quality steel products that, for various reasons, are available for sale outside of the original customer’s order. This steel meets the highest quality standards but may not precisely match the specifications of the initial purchase. Often, these situations arise when a customer reduces the size of their order after it has been processed by the mill, leaving the manufacturer with surplus prime steel ready to move.
Why Choose Excess Prime Steel from Collier Metals?
Prime Quality Assurance
Our excess prime steel retains the same metallurgical and dimensional integrity as custom orders. It is produced under strict quality controls, ensuring consistency and reliability for your applications. We can also meet strict chemical or mechanical specifications in sourcing excess prime coils.Cost-Effective Availability
Since the original buyer reduced their order size, the steel is available at attractive pricing. This allows you to source premium materials without paying for a full custom order or long lead times.Variety and Flexibility
Excess prime steel often comes in diverse sizes and quantities, giving you flexibility to meet your project requirements without overcommitting. We can help you select individual coils that meet your needs.
Common Reasons for Excess Prime Steel Availability
Order Size Changes
Customers occasionally modify their project needs, reducing the amount of steel they require after the mill has completed production.Spec Variations
While the steel is prime quality, minor differences in specification (such as dimensions or coating) may render it less suitable for the original buyer, making it available for resale.Mill Production Runs
Mills typically produce steel in set batch sizes. If a customer order does not consume an entire batch, excess steel is left available.
