What Metal Master does as a service center
Metal Master Sales Corp is an independent flat-rolled steel service center — meaning we don't own a mill; we buy master coils from producing mills and process them into the form a customer's line actually consumes. Coils in, slit mults or cut-to-length sheets or coated blanks out, with mill test reports and delivery timing aligned to the OEM's release schedule.
Our Performance Master processing facility sits mill-adjacent to Nucor Steel Crawfordsville, one of the largest sheet mills in North America. That single fact shapes the entire business: transit from the mill is measured in minutes, scheduling flexibility is unusually tight, and processed material can leave the facility the same day. See the mill-adjacency page for how that changes lead time and freight.

Frequently asked
- What is a steel service center?
- A steel service center buys master coils and plates from mills, then processes and delivers them in the exact form a manufacturer's line needs — slit widths, cut lengths, blanks, coated or embossed finishes — with mill test reports and delivery timing coordinated to the OEM's release schedule.
- Where is Metal Master located?
- Crawfordsville, Indiana. Our Performance Master processing facility is adjacent to Nucor Steel Crawfordsville, one of the largest sheet mills in North America.
- What does 'mill-adjacent' mean in practice?
- Freight from the mill is measured in minutes rather than days, master coils can be scheduled tighter, and processed material can ship out the same day. It's the fastest supply-chain configuration in flat-rolled steel.
- Do you supply outside the Midwest?
- Yes — Midwest is the primary service area, but we ship processed coil, sheet, and blank across the continental US and coordinate export logistics on request.
- Do you provide mill test reports?
- Yes. A CMTR (Certified Mill Test Report) travels with every shipment, and traceability is maintained through processing per our ISO 9001:2015 quality system.
