Why Aluminum Extrusion?
Design and produce nearly any shape—in a timely manner— through a low-cost process.
By offering designers a near net shape of their choice, aluminum extrusions are unrivaled among structural materials for design selection. The only limit is your imagination.
Aluminum & Sustainability
Lightweight, strong, durable, corrosion-resistant, versatile, low-maintenance, flexible, fast.
Aluminum extrusions help product designers, engineers, and architects get to destinations that steel can’t reach. As one of the most recycled industrial materials, it also makes a substantial contribution to sustainability efforts.

Aluminum extrusions usage has increased from an average of about 25 pounds per North American light vehicle 10 years ago to nearly 50 pounds in 2022. And, usage is continuing to grow as automakers utilize extrusions’ light weight, strength and formability to make vehicles environmentally friendlier, safer, and increasingly personalized.
Lightweight, durable, corrosion resistant, available in an almost endless range of shapes and aesthetic finishes. No wonder architects and designers utilize aluminum extrusions in a wide range of interior and exterior building applications.
Aluminum extrusions are used for a myriad of infrastructure applications, such as this pedestrian bridge made entirely of extruded aluminum.
The International Aluminum Extrusion Technology Seminar & Exposition is the most respected industry conference covering all aspects of the aluminum extrusion industry. Delegates from around the world and representing executive, management, production and sales personnel as well as users, designers and specifiers of aluminum extrusions come to ET to experience 100+ technical sessions, an Expo featuring 100+ industry suppliers, nETworking, in-conjunction educational events and more. The next ET Seminar is targeted for 2027.
