Coast Aluminum & Architectural, Inc. was founded in Hayward, a Northern California bay area city, in 1982. Coast was started, and still operates today, on the metals’ service center philosophy of working hard for unsurpassed customer service, respect for our valued suppliers, and providing a work environment for employees based on mutual respect. Coast is fully committed to our standard extrusion
product line of alloys 6061 and 6063, carrying the widest selection and deepest inventories of sizes in our marketplaces including custom shapes. The markets we sell these products to have encouraged us to evolve into 6061, cast, and tread plate; as well as 5052 electronic panel flat, 6061, and 3003 sheet. Throughout our system of branches we have over thirty extrusion and plate saws for precision cutting of these product lines to customer specifications. As our name suggests, we carry a line of architectural metals which include mirror polished super #8 304 stainless sheet also in varying colors, as well as pre-anodized and painted aluminum sheet, brass tubing, and brass, bronze, and copper sheet. Due to our growth over the last quarter century and our respect for our suppliers we are big enough to buy right from the best mills in the world that produce our various products, but small enough to stay true to the fundamentals of personal customer service. At Coast Aluminum, any decision that is made puts the customer’s needs first and foremost. We exist to continuously improve for their benefit. Equally important to us are our suppliers, whom we treat with great respect, for without their capabilities, service and price support; we could not offer them to our customers. None of this would be possible without our personnel who are the heart and soul of the company. Providing an environment of mutual respect with high regard for quality of work life, are the ingredients for us to meet common goals thus allowing employees individual opportunity to increase their standard of living. Like Coast’s employees individual success, for Coast to be successful we must do the job right first, then benefits will follow. By combining our product line and business philosophy with our efforts achieving these fundamentals outlined, the bottom line becomes the side affect, not its purpose.
