Why Choose Us
Choosing Lewis Brass & Copper means working with a service center built around reliability and long-term supply relationships. Since 1957, we have focused on maintaining a deep inventory of brass and copper-based alloys so customers can source material without long lead times. Our reputation as a tubing specialist is supported by a broad range of sizes and profiles, along with availability in rod/bar, sheet, coil, plate, and architectural shapes.
Our service goes beyond stocking metal. We provide precision cutting, cut-to-length processing, and other value-added services that help customers receive material closer to production-ready condition. Orders are handled by a knowledgeable team that understands alloys, ASTM standards, and the practical needs of fabrication and architectural work.
When a project requires something outside normal stock, we can coordinate special mill orders and source non-standard alloys or dimensions.
