Toll Processing

Alanod-Westlake is a toll processing manufacturer specializing in supplying sheets and blanks to various industries including but not limited to the lighting, automotive, architectural, and solar industries.

As a toll processor, we manufacture custom and standard high-quality slit coil and blanks. The materials can either be supplied by our customers or we can use our expansive connections to help source the best materials for your specific project.

Most of our customers are OEMs and service centers who come to us for our expertise and extensive capabilities. Typically, we provide them with aid in smaller runs and difficult jobs that they cannot do in-house. No job is too large or too small.

Why Use Alanod-Westlake Metals as Your Toll Processor?

There are many benefits of working with Alanod-Westlake Metals (AWMI) as your critical surface metal processor. When working with us, you receive cost-effective services including 100% quality inspection, tight tolerances, and superior packaging from our experts on their lines.

Multi-Blanking Lines

Each of our lines are run by team members who have many years of experience running, supervising, and perfecting their processes. They know their machines and our customer's requirements inside and out.

Cut-to-Length Lines

Both of our cut-to-length lines have multi-blanking “slear” (slitting and shearing in a single pass) capabilities up to five cuts.

Variety of Tight Tolerance Blanks and Sheets

We can process blanks and sheets anywhere from four inches to 40 feet in length. We always try to accommodate requests outside of our current capabilities, so don't hesitate to ask!

In addition, many of our customers do not have the in-house capabilities to process their own metals for their end products. Whether you lack the manpower, expertise, machinery, physical space, or the time to process your metal yourself, we can help. When these shortfalls impact your quality or productivity, contact us to talk more about what we can do for you.
