Fabrication
Because of their ductility, aluminium and aluminium extrusions are highly suitable for all types of fabrication. The bulk of the extrusions we deliver go through some form of fabrication such as bending or machining.
It is possible at the design stage to construct an extrusion that minimises the need for further work and makes fitting and assembly more efficient. However, some form of fabrication can often be required.
Our fabricating plant carries out complex and high added value work.
Hydro can provide a wide range of fabrication services to add value and to help our customers keep costs down. By not having to warehouse components prior to a fabrication process, our customers save money. By receiving a finished product, time and money is saved on packaging and delivery.
Hydro offer many types of fabrication from milling and sawing to turning and bending. For more information and examples visit Hydro.com
