About Sunshine Metals — Marine Alloys & Precision Cutting

Sunshine Metals has acquired the marine alloy distributor Metal Sales, Harvey, La.  Robert Carey, took over the management of Metal Sales in 1998 with his son Bobby Carey and the two businessmen set out to become a complete marine distributor.

Today, it remains a traditional marine alloy and armor distributor with a focus on precision cutting. Our core markets continue to be marine, shipbuilding, defense, and distribution. Though now stocking a number of alloys our focus is on the 5000 series aluminum.

Metal Sales now operating as Sunshine Metals New Orleans has added an additional 20,000 square feet of space to store and process aluminum plate and extrusions in Louisiana and maintains a sales office in Norfolk, Va.

In addition to water jet cutting and aluminum plate sawing, the facilities house three CNC milling routers capable of handling plate up to 96 inches by 480 inches.
