As part of the world’s largest aluminum profile company, Hydro Extrusion produces high value-added solutions for these markets:
- Distribution
For expedited response, Hydro maintains an extensive inventory of many standard profiles and a wide selection of ACC-U-LINE precision extruded bars for high speed machining applications. We offer integrated capabilities for prototyping, fabrication, assembly, painting, finishing and special packaging. - Rod and Bar
Consistent grain structure is the core of ACC-U-LINE™. Indirect extrusion reduces the frictional heat generated during extrusion, resulting in rod, bar and hex products that have more consistent dimensions, mechanical properties and grain structure. We operate more presses with indirect extrusion press technology than any other soft alloy extruder in North America. - Industrial and Consumer Durables
From cost-effective, precision products for machining… to engineered and fabricated custom shapes for consumer products and appliances… to semi-fabricated and fully fabricated assemblies… to advanced product for thermal management and the LED industry, no one offers more choices and greater value. - Commercial Transportation
With a national network of plants that are equipped for and focused on the trailer and truck body market, Hydro Extrusion is the only extruder that offers a true one-stop resource for all your needs, including extrusion profiles from .500" wide to 22.5", with opportunities for next-generation shapes and aerodynamic designs. - Automotive
With the capability to produce a comprehensive range of products for all types of light vehicles and over the road trucks in locations throughout North America, Europe and Asia, Hydro is a strong Tier 2 and 3 partner with global experience and resources to support your projects. - Solar and Renewable Energy
We have earned a strong position throughout the renewable energy industries, providing solutions for photovoltaic mounting systems, wind turbine structures and components, concentrated solar power collectors, and inverter housings and components. - Thermal Management
With over 30 years of experience extruding heat sinks ranging from ½" to 21" wide, Hydro offers the most complex and wide ranging heat sink selection on the market. From our facilities on both coasts, we provide fin ratios up to 19:1. - Building and Construction
We offer the widest choice in standard and custom extruded aluminum products for every architectural requirement in the residential and commercial building industry.
