Discover the real world applications of the aluminum we manufacture

Aluminum - A Universal Material

Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the crust of the earth and also can be recycled repeatedly while maintaining its quality, so it is an environmentally friendly choice for many products. It does not rust, is not magnetic and it conducts both heat and electricity with ease. It is light and more easily shaped than many other metals while still staying remarkably strong. Adaptable and practical, aluminum is often brought to our daily life through the process of aluminum extrusion.

 

It is used in industries across the globe which we supply to. Let’s dive into some of the industries we supply and what products our aluminum extrusions are used in.

Indoors and out, aluminum is used as an alternative to welded steel to produce handles, panels, wire mesh, modular machine frames, and much more. Outdoor fixtures constructed of aluminum can withstand all kinds of weather.

Aluminum extrusion is used in all sorts of products that we use in our daily life. Read more about aluminum extrusion and it’s benefits from our blog articles and other informational pages:
