Endless possibilities for innovation
With its unparalleled possibilities for tailoring shapes and forms, aluminum unlocks the creativity of designers and engineers alike. Add the unique properties of light weight, corrosion resistance, steel-like strength and easy recycling, and it's no wonder aluminum has become the material of choice for an increasing number of industries.
Aluminum is light weight
A product made of aluminum is just one-third the weight of one made with iron or steel. This makes for solutions that are smarter, greener and, in general, better all around.
Aluminum is flexible
Aluminum is extremely malleable and our rule of thumb is if you can draw it, we can shape it. Our extruded solutions enable designers, architects and engineers to shape aluminum in every form imaginable.
Aluminum is strong
Aluminum can be formulated with various alloys to equal and even surpass the strength of steel, allowing for exchanging steel in many constructions.
Aluminum is conductive
Aluminum has great cost and weight advantages over copper, replacing the latter as the conductor of choice in utility grids such as housing, buildings, aircraft and appliances.
Aluminum is durable
Aluminum may be the most sustainable construction material in the world. It is very resistant to corrosion compared to steel or breakage compared to plastic.
Aluminum is easy to recycle
An interesting fact about aluminum is that 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use. Recycling aluminum also requires very little energy, only 5% of what’s needed to make the metal the first time.
