Introduction
Welcome aboard! Our diverse group of industries and clients rely on us for consistently quality, American made materials delivered on time and to their expectation. Our team is excited and ready to deliver the same to you.
To help facilitate the process of ordering from us, we’ve provided a step-by-step guide to help our customers get what they need, when they need it, exactly how they need it. For any questions, please reach out to our info@current1.com and our team will help guide you towards the information you seek.
Things to Note
The Current, Inc Sales team works in empirical units and typically utilizes decimals rather than fractions in our internal systems. We can utilize other units of measurement; however we will still use our internal standards when processing and completing orders. As such, converting your units to empirical and decimals in your initial RFQ helps expedite our ability to quote and ensure everyone is on the same page.
Please refer to these links for more information on standard dimensions and other technical data for our thermoset composites.

This may look like:

- Special shipping instructions that may include cutting, protection, or shipping account information.
