Few metals are stronger, more durable or more useful than aluminum. For good reason, more aluminum is produced each year than all other non-ferrous metals combined. It has the ability to be machined, formed and shaped, is second only to copper in conductivity, conducts heat well, is non-sparking so it can be used near flammable substances, resists corrosion and rust, and is non-magnetic.

It’s also non-toxic, making it an ideal packaging material for foods, beverages and pharmaceutical products.

Aluminum extrusion profiles are integral to the construction, electronics and manufacturing industries. Lightweight, strong and corrosion-resistant parts are required for glass work, windows and doors, heat sinks, mechanical parts, framing and for the components used in a broad variety of engines, electronic motors and industrial equipment and robotics. You will find extruded profiles in every imaginable industry.

• The construction and building industries use extrusion profiles in architectural framing, door and window frames, shop fronts, exterior siding and roofing cladding. 
• The transportation and automotive industries use extruded shapes extensively for railway cars, automobiles, marine applications and transportation products. The efficient transfer of heat makes aluminum a favorite for use in condenser tubes, radiators and air conditioners, as well as panels, cylinder heads, engine blocks, transmission houses, and chassis. 
• There are a myriad of other commercial, consumer, and public uses, including vending machines, circuit boards, sports equipment, such as fishing poles, bicycles and tennis racquets, food and pharmaceutical packaging, light bulbs and more.
