We are in unprecedented times with the COVID-19 pandemic. Speedy Metals' thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones during these uncertain times, and like so many, we have heavy hearts as we hear each day about the impacts COVID-19 is having on our communities.

As an essential business, we realize that we must continue to supply our customers with products to keep their businesses operational. Many of our customers are supporting the COVID-19 crisis by supplying goods and services that are in high demand such as medical related supplies and equipment. Therefore we continue to function within critical areas including customer support as well as order processing.

Speedy Metals plans to keep our business functioning, and we are continuing to process orders as they are received. We are not anticipating any supply chain interruptions that would impact production.

We believe in the American Spirit: through ingenuity and determination, we are confident in our Nation’s ability to overcome these challenging times together.

Thank you for continuing to support our business and each other.

DID YOU KNOW...?

...that at extreme pressures, lead becomes harder than steel?

Normally, lead is soft - you can even scratch it with your fingernail.

But when compressed at a pressure of about 400 gigapascals (ie similar to what you'd find in the Earth's core), its crystal structure changes to make it approximately 10 times stronger than high strength steel!
