At VINCO we specialise in the supply and slitting of stainless steel strip into narrow strips with precision tolerances.
We adapt every coil to the customer’s production needs: grade, temper, surface finish, edge type, format and packaging.
We have our own oscillate winding lines to supply strip in long-length coils.

Stainless steel strip is used in automotive, metal stamping, spring manufacturing, cutlery, the food industry and the production of precision components.
We advise you on the most suitable grade, condition, finish and dimensions for your application.
We supply stainless steel strip for the manufacture of knives, scissors, blades, razors, spatulas and other cutting tools.
We offer martensitic stainless steels AISI 420, 420MoV, 440B and 440C, which reach high levels of hardness and wear resistance through appropriate heat treatment.
AISI 420 (1.4028) is supplied annealed (235 HV max.) or hardened by cold rolling (+C700, +C850).
For food-contact applications, compliance with the applicable European legislation, including Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, must be verified.
