Zeeco Metals Inc. has decades of experience delivering high-quality flat-rolled steel products to meet the changing needs of the automotive sector. We serve Tier 2 suppliers in the automotive supply chain, providing them with steel coil processing for the automotive industry, including slit coil products and high-performance materials used in stamping, forming, and assembly. Our precision-processed steel meets tight tolerances and automotive-grade standards, ensuring consistent performance in stamped parts, structural components, and body panels across a wide range of vehicle platforms.
Slit Steel Coils Engineered for Automotive Performance
Our slit steel coils in automotive applications are processed with care to ensure high edge quality, flatness, and dimensional accuracy. We work with a variety of steel grades including low-carbon, high-strength low-alloy (HSLA), advanced high-strength steel (AHSS), and coated steels used in corrosion-prone environments. Every coil is slit using precision equipment that supports high-speed production without compromising quality. We tailor our slitting capabilities to meet your exact specifications, reducing scrap, setup time, and material waste during downstream stamping and fabrication.
Automotive Stamping Steel: Strength, Formability, and Consistency
Zeeco’s automotive stamping steel offerings are designed to meet stringent OEM and Tier 1 part specifications. We understand the role that formability, edge condition, and surface finish play in high-volume stamping operations, and we process accordingly. Our steel coil inventory includes grades commonly used for:
- Door frames, reinforcements, and brackets
- Floor pans, cross members, and inner body structures
- Bumpers, crash-reinforcement parts, and crumple zones
