About this company

PREMINOX Group companies are specialists in the supply of stainless steel tubes, pipes and tubular products. Since the 1990s, we have established ourselves as a first-choice supply partner of major manufacturing companies throughout the world. Our products are manufactured to the highest quality standards and are very competitively priced. Although a high proportion of our customers are blue-chip market leaders seeking global procurement and supply solutions, we are also more than happy to cater for smaller quantity requirements and we maintain stocks in our distribution centres in order to effect this. Historically, we have focused upon 'special' products for critical industries, such as automotive, medical and defence, and in doing so we have established a strong network of some of the world's best suppliers. The supply of bespoke products is still an important part of our business, but, with a growing range of 'standard' products in our stocks, such as seamless tubes, seamless pipes and welded tubes, we can now offer the more typical products quickly and effectively.
