Knowledge

Henan Henry supply aluminum in an extensive range of alloys, tempers, and products. Because of aluminum's versatility, the aluminum alloy and product required will vary from project to project. We offer an extensive selection of aluminum foils, sheets, plates, alloys, tempers, and sizes commonly used in industrial and commercial applications. As an over 10 years in the metals industry, we will provide you with only the very best aluminum products and services.
