Matched to real demand.
Intermax Metals is a Germany-based trading partner specialising in non-prime, excess and secondary steel. We connect clearly documented material with buyers whose production requirements fit the actual grade, dimensions, surface and condition of each lot—and coordinate the commercial path from first offer to delivery.
Material first. Market fit second.Clear descriptions, focused market work and practical commercial coordination.
How we work
Three commercial routes for non-standard steel.
Intermax works from the opportunity itself: an available lot, a clearly defined buyer requirement or a supplier stock that needs additional market attention. We then choose the commercial route that best fits the material, the parties and the intended market.
Additional market coverage
Focused surplus stock marketing
For selected lots, we add focused, agreed market coverage and follow qualified buyer interest persistently.

Steel sourcing for industrial buyers and end users
For concrete industrial requirements, we run a focused search for suitable prime, non-prime, secondary and excess steel.
Submit a steel requirementFrom information to delivery
A clear process from usable information to a workable delivery.
Non-prime steel is not sold effectively through a generic catalogue. Its value depends on accurate information, the right application and disciplined follow-up. We therefore work through four practical stages.
Document the lot
Grade, dimensions, quantity, quality category, condition, photos, certificates, packing and location are brought into one usable commercial picture.
Match the application
We consider which processors, service centres or industrial users can work with the material as it actually is—not only as originally intended.
Coordinate the offer
Availability, price basis, inspection, payment, Incoterms and delivery requirements are clarified before unnecessary discussions begin.
Support execution
We remain involved through documentation, loading, logistics coordination and commercial follow-up until the agreed delivery is completed.
Material focus
A broad product range with a clear focus on non-prime flat steel.
Our core focus is non-prime, excess and secondary steel from European mills, service centres, stockholders and processors. Material may originate from overproduction, cancelled orders, residual quantities, dimensional deviations, surface imperfections or other forms of downgrading. Every offer is handled according to the information available for that specific lot.
Hot-rolled flat steel
Hot-rolled coils, sheets and plates in commercial, structural and selected higher-strength grades; including overrollings, excess production and downgraded lots.
Pickled & oiled steel
Pickled and oiled coils, sheets and slit strip for applications that require a clean scale-free surface before forming, coating or further processing.
Cold-rolled flat steel
Cold-rolled coils, sheets and slit strip for forming and general industrial applications, described by actual dimensions, surface and mechanical data.
For mills, service centres & stockholders
Give selected stock the focused market attention it deserves.
Your sales team naturally concentrates on core customers, regular products and the highest-priority orders. Surplus, downgraded or unusually specified lots often require different buyer research and more persistent follow-up. Intermax can add that focused commercial capacity without disrupting your established customer relationships or sales process.
