Home / Materials
Send the drawing. We find the mill that can hold it.
In materials nobody buys a brand. They buy a grade, a tolerance and a delivery date. We confirm the Korean mill can meet all three before you get a quote — and we say so plainly when it cannot.
Is this for you
Check the fit before you write to us.
We would rather say no early than take on work that will not go anywhere. If you are unsure, ask and we will tell you.
This fits when
- You have a drawing or a spec for copper, stainless or brass pipe or alloy.
- You expect repeat orders, not a single spot purchase.
- You need mill certificates and test reports checked against the spec.
- Your grade is hard to source and most suppliers have said no.
This is not the right fit when
- You need aluminium scrap or knitting machine needles. We do not handle those.
- You are buying on price alone and will switch mills every order.
- Your quantity is below what a mill will roll. We will say so rather than quote around it.
What we handle
Quantities here are set by the specification and by freight economics rather than by a fixed unit minimum.
| Category | Quoted against | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Copper pipe | Grade & dimension | Give the standard, outside diameter, wall thickness and temper. Mill test certificate supplied with shipment. |
| Stainless steel pipe | Grade & dimension | Seamless or welded, with the grade and finish stated. Third party inspection arranged where the order justifies it. |
| Brass pipe | Alloy & dimension | State the alloy designation and temper. Composition confirmed against the mill certificate before shipment. |
| Specialty alloys | Specification | Non-ferrous and high-performance alloys where durability and precision, not price alone, decide the supplier. |
If Korea has a free trade agreement with your country, a correctly issued certificate of origin can remove the duty entirely. We check this before quoting.
Sourcing anything else in Korea
The categories above are where we already hold relationships. They are not the limit of what we can look for.
If you need a product made or bought in Korea and it does not appear on this site, send it to us anyway. We will tell you within about a week whether it can be sourced here at a price that works, and we will say no plainly when the answer is no.
A photograph, a part number, a competitor's product or a link is enough to start. The more specific the volume and target price, the faster the answer.
What we do not do is take on a search we do not believe in. A dead lead costs you less than a bad one.
Fee structure
We quote after the spec is clear, not before.
A common grade and a hard-to-hold spec are not the same job. We price against the drawing.
Two parts, and nothing hidden between them
1. Our fee — For finding the mill, checking certificates against your spec, and coordinating the order. Fixed before work starts.
2. Pass-through costs — Third-party testing, inspection and freight. Billed at cost with the receipts.
Send the drawing first. If no Korean mill can hold it, we will tell you that instead of quoting around it.
Common questions
Do you verify the supplier is a real manufacturer?
Yes. Korea has many trading companies presenting themselves as mills. We check business registration, factory registration and export history, and visit the site where the order size justifies it.
What do you need to give a real quotation?
The standard or grade, dimensions and tolerances, first order volume and expected annual volume, your Incoterm and port, and any inspection or certificate requirements. Without tolerances, any quote you receive is meaningless.
Can you handle third party inspection?
Yes, either through an inspection company or through our own pre-shipment check, depending on the value and risk of the order.
What about export-controlled materials?
We check licensing before quoting. If an item requires a permit we will tell you, and we will not proceed without one.

No fee to enquire. If we cannot help, we will say so and, where we can, point you elsewhere.
