Numerous energy-saving incentives are available through the government and other agencies. The Ministry of Natural Resources and the U.S. Department of Energy websites offer information on incentives and tax breaks as well as energy conservation ideas.

The products we make are the result of your imagination.

Years of experience have given us problem solving abilities. By working with a large number of industries we have learned what's important to each and have developed methods to suit specific needs.

Quick industry examples...

The lighting industry reflectors require a smooth surface finish and possibly specific alloy selection; heat sinks for the electronic industry may require high tongue ratios to maximize heat dispersion; tight tolerances are often required for profile assemblies or to align with non-extrusion end caps or fittings. Each industry has unique requirements and we have the varied experience to work with them.

Multiple profile solutions...

A Customer came to us with a brand new project consisting of 14 unique extrusions for assembly. In the process of learning more about the project and understanding the needs of the Customer, the proposed profiles were reviewed and the package was re-designed to 5 profiles. Extrusion tooling costs were reduced as well as time and money for part installation.

Machined parts...

Customers have come to us with parts that have traditionally been heavily machined. Enquiring about the end use and Customer goals has lead to near-net extrusions incorporating design/assembly features reducing machining costs down stream. Extrusions can be extensively customized to maximize your investment.

Put our experience behind you. In the end, what we do we do for you - extrusions are just the beginning. We can supply a host of services from design assistance to customized packaging to make your extrusion experience worry-free.

Technical Extrusion Info:

Extrusions can be so varied in design that the only way to really determine profile capability is to show us your design. We have extruded some pretty incredible shapes - many of them have been “exceptions" to the guidelines listed below.

Plant Capability Guidelines

Press Sizes-Tonnages - 6"-1250 tons, 7"-1800 tons, 8"-2750 tons
Hollow Profile Circle Size *(CCD) - 0.250" to 7.0+"
Solid Profile Circle Size *(CCD) - 0.125" minimum to 10" wide
Wall Thickness - <0.020" minimum, maximum depends on the shape
Profile Weight - 0.020 lb/ft to 10+ lb/ft
Tongue Ratio - we've extruded profiles with tongue ratios nearing 20:1 for heat sinks and other channel profiles

Standard Profiles

We do not stock standard profiles (channels, angles, flat bar, etc.), but we do have a selection of open dies available. Please contact your sales rep for more info.
