Alro Steel was established in 1948 by Al and Robert Glick and has grown to include Alro Plastics, Alro Industrial Supply and Alro Metals Outlet.

Metals Processing Capabilities


Plate Laser Cutting

  • Laser tolerances in stainless, aluminum and carbon plate up to 1”,
    up to 1/4" in red metals
  • Maximum plate capacity 80” x 159”
  • High precision and repeatability on cut parts
  • Produces near net of finished products to your print
  • Minimal heat affected zone
  • Minimal to no clean-up
  • Etching (not offered on red metals) and “stitch-cutting” available
  • Potential secondary processes:
    • Tapping from #10 - 3/4” and M5 - M12 available depending on size and thickness
    • Forming
PlateLaser_SmallPic_Left
With a maximum plate capacity of 80” x 159”, Alro is able to cut a wide range of parts.
PlateLaser_SmallPic_Middle
With its narrow kerf width, the plate laser is able to achieve better yields.
PlateLaser_SmallPic_Right
High precision and repeatability on cut parts make the plate laser ideal for production runs.
