We can take your drawings from concept to production all with one stop.

  • Benefits of Aluminum Extrusions

    • Cost-Effective

      Die setup is less costly and time-consuming than with other fabrication methods. Your design comes to market faster.

    • Versatile

      Today's extrusions can create intricate shapes, with hollows, thin walls, fastening faces and other complex features-integral to the part with no additional assembly.

    • Joining

      Aluminum extrusions can be joined to other pieces by welding, soldering, brazing, fasteners, and other common methods. Extrusions can be designed to interlock together or mate with other parts.

    • Machine Tolerances

      Obtain tight dimensional tolerances with no additional machining operations required, reducing total part cost.

    • Aluminum

      Aluminum combines strength with light weight, and has excellent thermal and electrical properties. It can take a variety of finishes.

    • Near-net Shape

      Start with an extrusion close to the desired finished shape. Then machine along the length to achieve a final configuration. Near-net shape extrusions incur less cost and scrap, comparted to machining from solid stock, reducing total part cost.
