Hello timpatco

Hopefully a Member at CR4 is located in your general area, and can give you a more complete answer.

I presume that you have already checked in an Internet Search Engine: steel supplier thailand

Mr Google's Results 1 - 10 of about 363,000 for steel supplier thailand. (0.26 seconds)

European sizes mean Metric Measure, and I'm sure that such would be available in your general area.

You say "Small quantities", but how small?

If needed urgently, and the quantities were really small, it is faster to airfreight the steel in, if an urgent job.

Kind Regards....

Hi Sparky,

Thanks for the input. I am the marketing guy for our company Kuma, amd I have just taken this task over from our normally very efficient Thai administrator, so I can only assume she has made every effort on the local scene + Googling with logical tags.

By small I mean 2-3 20' container loads. I was hoping there was a member or guest here with immediate local experience and relaible supplier contacts.

I will have the actual dimensions in about 10 hours when I meet my partner.

Seems the main problem is the "European" dimensions (as he, a dyed in the wool American) likes to call them.

The AF collection of SnapOns at the factory still exceeds the metric kit...sigh why do the Americans persist in so many redundant practices?, but lets leave politics out of this, it is complicated enough just coping with soaring costs, but hey that is political n'est ce pas? :)

Who ever sells you the steel will convert the numbers I am sure.

China, India and Japan will supply you all the steel you need.
