Read technically
Enquiries are assessed technically, not simply passed on by price. We check material, standard, tolerance and surface before selecting a supplier.
Procurement with substance
Raw materials, semi-finished
Raw materials, semi-finished
products and machined parts.
ALMESTA sources and supplies raw materials, semi-finished products, flat and long products as well as machined parts and extruded profiles in brass and aluminium for industrial companies and processing operations. We draw on long-standing contacts to mills and suppliers and on an established international sourcing network. From the single enquiry to series supply under a framework agreement.
One enquiry. One quotation. One contact. For sheet, bar, profile, turned parts and spare parts – bundled from a single source.

Our principle
One contact for raw material,
One contact for raw material,
semi-finished product and part.
We source what would otherwise have to be coordinated across several suppliers: raw materials, semi-finished products, profiles as well as parts to drawing — from a single source.
02
Qualified mills
We work with selected mills and manufacturers in Europe and worldwide. The choice depends on material, process, quantity and delivery date.
03
Full handling
Ordering, production follow-up, goods receipt, storage and delivery are handled by us. Material certificates to DIN EN 10204 are supplied on request.
You describe the requirement – we take care of the right solution. On schedule, with the documentation you need and one dedicated contact. Including complex items that no single manufacturer can cover alone.

01
Raw materials & semi-finished products
Metallic raw materials and semi-finished products in steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass and other non-ferrous metals as well as engineering plastics. Sourced by material, grade, dimension and customer specification.
- Raw materials and metallic feedstock
- Coils, slit strip, sheet and plate
- Round, flat, square and hexagon bar
- Tubes and hollow sections
- Plastic sheet and round stock
- Cut pieces and fixed lengths to specification
Coils, sheet & long products
We source strip, plate, bar and tube by material, grade and dimension. Slit, cut to length or cut to size on request.
Recurring requirements
Series quantities and running items are supplied under agreed delivery concepts, on request with a framework agreement and call-off as needed.
02
Machined parts
Parts to drawing and machined parts to your specification. Sourcing runs through suitable national and international manufacturing partners, from the single part through small batches to running series supply.
- CNC turned and milled parts
- Laser-cut, stamped and bent parts
- Welded assemblies
- Castings, forgings and injection-moulded parts
- Assemblies, spare and machine parts
- Custom parts to sample
Basis
A drawing, 3D data set or sample forms the basis. We agree material, dimensions, tolerances and surface with the manufacturing partner.
Sourcing & execution
The established supplier network covers a range of processes and quantities. Even for complex requirements, one contact remains responsible for the entire procurement.
03
Extruded profiles
Extruded profiles in brass and aluminium, as standard sections or to drawing. Through long-standing contacts with specialised extruders we realise profiles for industrial applications.
- Brass profiles
- Aluminium profiles
- Standard sections
- Custom profiles to drawing
- Solid and hollow sections
- Machined profiles and fixed lengths
Custom profiles
Die design and sample run are agreed per project. Geometry, alloy and tolerances are taken into account at the design stage.
From profile to finished part
Downstream steps such as cutting to length, drilling, milling or surface treatment are coordinated on request. You receive the profiles prepared for further processing or assembly.

What we source
What we source
and supply.
Our focus is sourcing metallic raw materials and semi-finished products as well as engineering plastics for industrial requirements. Depending on the need we supply feedstock, standard semi-finished products, customer-specific cut material or ready-to-fit machined parts.
Material grade, standard, dimension, tolerance and surface are agreed to your specification. Material certificates to DIN EN 10204, from the declaration of compliance 2.1 and the test report 2.2 through to the inspection certificate 3.1, are provided on request.

Supply
Supplying, not just
Second source
Supplying, not just
quoting.
Price decides the enquiry, supply decides the series. For running requirements we secure availability through two qualified sources, framework agreements with call-offs and stock.
01
Framework agreement with call-offs
Annual quantity calculated, call-off as required, on request with an agreed safety stock. Price and delivery date stay predictable, your stock stays lean.
02
Second source
per item
For every running item we qualify a second mill — with released material and approved sample, before it is needed. If one source fails, supply continues without a new release.
03
Storage and delivery
We handle storage, picking and scheduled delivery, including consignment and call-off quantities.
04
Spare and replacement parts
Also for older machines and discontinued series — to drawing, sample or measurement.
Quality you can rely on, including in international sourcing. On request we supply the required material certificates to DIN EN 10204, from the declaration of compliance 2.1 and the test report 2.2 through to the inspection certificate 3.1.

Company
ALMESTA GmbH
ALMESTA GmbH, based in Wedemark near Hanover, specialises in national and international sourcing of and trade in raw materials, materials, semi-finished products as well as technical components and machined parts.
We source metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics and other technical materials as feedstock as well as semi-finished product, profile, cut material or customer-specific manufactured part. The scope covers purchasing and sales, import and export, supplier selection and qualification, storage and complete logistics handling. In addition we source parts to drawing, assemblies as well as spare and machined parts to customer specification.
The business is carried by two managing directors: technical assessment of drawing, material and process on one side, entrepreneurial leadership and commercial handling on the other. Enquiries are therefore checked technically before they go to the market.
