Materials Management

13300 S.W. Fielding Rd, Lake Oswego, Oregon, United States

formed Materials Management, Inc. in the early 8092s to assist customers in filling their needs for quality aluminum extrusions and related, similar products easily, economically, and efficiently. Today, we are proud to boast customers in many states and a number of foreign countries. Our specialty is helping OEM92s achieve their goals by filling their needs quickly, easily, and economically. Think of us as your 93one stop94 source for your aluminum extrusion and downstream processing needs, as well as excellent suppliers of aluminum castings and aluminum in other forms!Our staff experience includes using aluminum extrusions in a manufacturing mode as early as 1961 (and nearly continuously ever since), designing hundreds of extrusions, (and assisting many others do the same), manufacturing a number of products using them for at least 30 years. We have also consulted in their use for well over 20 years, and have had many other links to aluminum, with its advantages and its few disadvantages. We92re sure we can be of benefit to you, too!MMI specializes in supplying aluminum raw materials, semi-finished, and finished components for a broad range of businesses, OEM92S, other industries and countless end users. We have been doing so for well over 20 years.A few of these industries and uses include the commercial construction, housing, recreational, hobby and sport, transportation and space, agriculture and food processing, computer and other electronics, cleaning equipment, and literally countless other industry sectors.Our aluminum products are available in nearly all extrudable and castable alloys (please plan to study our technical data pages now and in the near future, which describe the various alloys and their chemistry, strengths, uses, availability comparisons, and general cost ranges).

We work primarily with aluminum extrusions and castings, but, also, supply aluminum in nearly all other forms and shapes. Please peruse our complete site to see most of them. Most of our products are produced specifically for our customers by a large number of manufacturers, both domestically and overseas.We use an extensive set of databases, which identifies the detailed production capability of about 1,000 aluminum extrusion, casting, and other mills located domestically and around the world to select the best sources for our customers92 needs. We work with a number of these mills regularly. Using those databases, we can select the best mills to produce YOUR parts.

We have similar databases for nearly all of the other production processes with which we work, allowing us to be confident of filling YOUR needs quickly, efficiently, and economically with product having the material and workmanship quality they deserve.Materials Management specializes in the supply of mill run quantities (most typically 500 pounds or more of aluminum products), which are often drop shipped directly from our mills which are located throughout the U.S., and around the world to our customers, rather than coming through our warehouse. This saves our customers the costs of duplicate handling and transportation, inventory and carrying costs, and other cost increasing expenses, as well as increased delivery times, increased risks of handling damage, etc.

We also provide plastic extrusions, and, on occasion, plastic injection molded parts, and both in a wide range of formulations, sizes, shapes, etc.In these and other ways, we attempt to bring the highest possible quality products to our clients at the lowest possible costs, commensurate with good business practices.Under normal circumstances, Materials Management Inc.92s minimum invoice value is $750.00, though that limit is waived in certain circumstances, especially for existing accounts and promising new ones.We hope you will find this information to be beneficial and helpful and our new site to be informative and pleasant and easy to use.Please do not hesitate to let us know how it (or we) can serve you better, and feel free to call us and ask for me personally, regardless of your need.

At the present time our site is still in its middle developmental stages, but we feel you will find it beneficial in several ways. Please excuse (but, also, please report to the systems administrator) any faults, errors, and or omissions you may discover.We would also appreciate hearing about any additions or other suggestions you may have to help us create an exemplary site, which will serve your needs to the fullest extent possible.We assure you we will do our very best to correct any deficiencies as quickly as possible. Please visit us here often to see the frequent new additions and improvements. We have many things planned or 93in the works94 for our site and your benefit.

We have at least partially installed the following features:

• A bit of the history of Materials Management.
• Listings of tens of thousands of available open shape (standard dies) from which we can usually supply extrusions without imposing die development charges.
• Discussion of custom shapes and how to use them.
• Information, helpful hints, pitfalls to avoid and ways to design aluminum extrusions for best productivity and economy.
• Information, helpful hints, pitfalls to avoid and ways to purchase aluminum extrusions for best productivity and economy.
• Generous use of navigation bars.
• An internal search engine, which will let you search for virtually any relevant (explicit) key word, and aid you in navigating the site.
• Descriptive information, which will give you insight into some of the most popular aluminum alloy groups.
• A description of the more commonly extrudable aluminum alloys, their main uses, and general characteristics.
• Discussions of the various finishes available for aluminum, how they differ, their comparative costs, and examples of where they are most advantageous.
• A few of the many testimonials we have received from our customers.
• Some information about heat sinks and electronic cases.
• A sheet metal gauge comparison chart, comparing the different standards.
• A table of the densities of aluminum alloys.
• A hardness measurement comparison chart, comparing the different standards.
• A Metric to Imperial measurement equivalency chart.
• An Imperial to Metric measurement equivalency chart.
• An Imperial to Metric / Metric to Imperial measurement computer.
• Arrangements for payment, and your options regarding them.
•Our terms of use for the site.
• Our site privacy policy.

The following features, among others, are planned and 93in the works94:

• A Handy calculator sheet to estimate the approximate weight per foot (and feet per given common order weight quantity) for a number of the common extrusion geometries, regardless of their dimensions. This is virtually complete, and should be up very soon.
• Technical data on the chemical and physical properties of many aluminum alloys.
• A dictionary covering a number of common industry terms and their meanings.
• A link into some of the current metal prices, as traded on the domestic and international markets
• Information on aluminum castings, shot, pellets, flakes, granules, needles, tadpoles, and other geometries of aluminum.

We also plan many, many other features you will find handy to have available for your daily use. Most will be worked on an anticipated frequency of use basis.
