Stainless steel sheet levelling: when flatness makes all the difference

In stainless steel processing, sheet flatness is not a secondary detail—it’s a functional requirement that has a direct impact on the quality of the finished product. Well-levelled sheets ensure structural stability, accurate assembly, and smoother downstream processing, helping to reduce waste and optimise both time and cost.For over fifty years, Oiki Acciai Inossidabili Spa has been a leading independent distributor of stainless steel in Italy and across Europe. The company is equipped with high-performance levelling lines capable of handling a wide variety of dimensions, thicknesses and steel grades with maximum precision. Oiki Levelling Lines1) Line: 2,000 mm width – up to 15.0 mm thickness- Coil widths: 1,000 / 1,250 / 1,500 / 2,000 mm- Thicknesses: from 2.0 mm to 15.0 mm- Sheet lengths: up to 14,500 mm2) Line: 2,000 mm width – up to 8.0 mm thickness- Coil widths: 1,000 / 1,250 / 1,500 / 2,000 mm- Thicknesses: from 1.0 mm to 8.0 mm- Sheet lengths: up to 12,300 mm3) Line: 1,500 mm width – up to 3.0 mm thickness- Coil widths: 1,000 / 1,250 / 1,500 mm- Thicknesses: from 0.4 mm to 3.0 mm- Sheet lengths: up to 6,500 mm This technical setup enables Oiki to offer tailored solutions for a wide range of industries, from light fabrication to heavy-duty mechanical engineering—ensuring tight tolerances, uniform surface finishes, and dimensional stability.The ability to level non-standard formats, such as extra-long or thick sheets, is a defining strength that helps eliminate the need for reworking, prevent deformation, and avoid fitting issues during final assembly.Combined with a 35,000 m² warehouse and an efficient logistics system, Oiki’s levelling service is far more than just an added option—it’s a critical asset for businesses that prioritise precision, lead time and production continuity in the stainless steel supply chain.
