Extruded aluminium products are being used more frequently worldwide in ever new application areas. The possibilities for using aluminium profiles are as limitless as your imagination.
-
Through our extruded solutions and trademarks like Wicona, Technal and Sapa, we offer a range of aluminium building systems. Energy efficient aluminium façades allow for energy-neutral buildings and even energy-positive buildings that produce more energy than they consume.
-
Aluminium façades play an important role in energyefficient buildings where advanced solutions are required. The building's exterior must fill many functions, such as sun shading, thermal and solar energy production, housing of sensors and motors as well as providing required load capacity.

- Lightweight
- Excellent thermal conductivity
- Very easy to shape and bend
- High corrosion resistance
- Easily recyclable
- Tight tolerances
- High surface quality
Material of the future
We produce extruded aluminium profiles, semi-finished components, system solutions and finished products - all depending on the customer's requirements.
Customer satisfaction
Over the years Hydro has produced more than 200 000 different profiles for customers worldwide. Not all customers require customized aluminium extrusions. They can choose among 1 500 standard profiles. For help in choosing these standard profiles, please contact us! Our goal is to have superior products and satisfied customers.
The extrusion process
Extrusion technology offers endless possibilities for the product's shape. In many projects it may be best to design a unique profile, as this can often mean fewer parts and easier assembly of the final product. The many possibilities of aluminium profiles inspire us to produce creative designs and technical solutions that simplify things and save money. In order to develop the best products and reduce costs, it is recommended that the profile supplier and customer work together in the initial phase of the project.
Optimal choice
The correct choice of shape and metal alloy is essential for both the development process and project budget. As a customer of Hydro you are guaranteed high quality and precision in production thanks to our excellent professionals and modern technology.
