John Keatley Metals Ltd was founded in 1896 by John Keatley. John ran the company with his son Ernie, except for a short time during WW1, when his daughters Lily and Winifred helped to provide a wide variety of non-ferrous and other special metals to companies throughout Birmingham and the Black Country.

Our Core Services: Cut-to-Length Solutions
We recognise that our clients require more than just raw materials. We specialise in the procurement and distribution of a comprehensive range of non-ferrous semi-finished products, with a primary focus on our bespoke metal cutting services.
Our inventory and processing capabilities include:
- Reducing Manufacturing Waste: Our cut-to-length capability ensures you receive only the material required for the job, lowering your overall costs. This service eliminates onsite preparation, reduces material waste, and minimizes production lead times.
- Specialist Metal Stockholding: We hold a wide range of non-ferrous metals in sheet, plate, and rod in various grades and non-standard dimensions.
- Hard-to-Source Alloys: Utilising our extensive connections, we supply materials that are often unavailable through standard distribution channels.
“Our history is defined by product reliability and long-standing client trust. We provide more than raw materials; we supply the specific metal solutions that serve as the foundation for your project’s success”
