Every month at Nuclead we ship a large variety of lead products such as Lead Wire, X-Ray Shielding, Lead Seals, Lead Extrusions. As well as value-added services such as Secondary Smelter, CNC machining, casting and extrusion.
Here are some of the items we shipped recently to customers around the world.
Some of these shipments required significant fabrication activities, some just need to be cut to size or simply picked from our large in-stock inventory of lead products and some require valued added engineering services.
