Aluminium extrusion: what it is, types and benefits in industry

Posted on April 17, 2026 (September 18, 2026)

Extrusion is one of the key processes in aluminium processing, widely used to manufacture profiles with precise geometries and varying lengths. This method allows for an optimal balance between strength, weight and surface finish, making it an essential solution for a wide range of industrial applications. In this article, we examine what aluminium extrusion is, […]

Process optimisation in aluminium joinery workshops: the key lies in industrialisation

Posted on March 30, 2026 (September 18, 2026)

In the construction industry, aluminium joinery workshops no longer compete solely on production capacity, but also on operational efficiency. Deadlines are getting shorter, projects are becoming more complex, and technical demands are increasing. In this context, reducing lead times does not mean working faster, but rather working within an industrialised model.. Industrialising the workshop: the […]

How profile design impacts efficiency in aluminium extrusion

Posted on February 18, 2026 (September 18, 2026)

Why profile design is crucial in aluminium extrusion Efficiency in aluminium extrusion depends directly on the profile design. The geometry of the section influences the extrusion speed, die wear, energy consumption and final product quality. In industrial terms, an optimised profile allows for: When the design is carried out taking into account the behaviour of […]

CBAM: the acronym that will change aluminium imports in Europe

Posted on February 6, 2026 (September 18, 2026)

In the coming years, the aluminium sector will hear a key acronym more and more often: CBAM. This mechanism will change aluminium imports in Europe, marking a turning point in how such imports and their environmental impact are regulated in the European Union. Behind the CBAM lies a profound shift in European strategy to decarbonise […]

Stretching in aluminium profiles: key to dimensional accuracy and mechanical improvement

Posted on July 18, 2025 (September 18, 2026)

Aluminium extrusion involves different phases, from billet preparation to heat treatment and finishing. One of the fundamental operations to ensure the dimensional quality of the profile is stretching. What is stretching? Drawing is a mechanical operation carried out after extrusion and cooling of the aluminium profile. It consists of applying a longitudinal traction on the […]

Recycling, a key factor in reducing carbon footprint

Posted on May 23, 2025 (September 18, 2026)

Recycled Aluminium Billet: Key to Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Industry In an increasingly environmentally conscious world, reducing the carbon footprint has become a priority for many industries. A prime example of this trend is the aluminium industry, which has found recycling to be an effective and sustainable solution. The use of recycled aluminium billet […]

Die evolution in the aluminium extrusion process

Posted on October 22, 2024 (September 18, 2026)

How does the die evolve in the aluminium extrusion process? In the aluminium extrusion process, the die is an important part of the extrusion process, as it is the part that determines the final shape of the profile coming out of the press. To ensure that the extruded aluminium profile conforms to the manufacturing drawing, […]
