Selected aluminium alloys optimized for your requirements

Over 50 years of expertise – we develop and manufacture sophisticated aluminium extrusion profiles and mechanical processing of aluminium as a leading group of companies in Europe. Depending on our customers’ applications in the construction, transport, automotive, and industrial sectors, we use the appropriate aluminium alloys. All the alloys we offer are certified following the EN 573-3 standard. Up to 18,000 tons of process scrap are recycled annually in our remelting plant in primary quality.

Choosing the right aluminium alloys is the key to tailor-made solutions for a wide range of applications. Thanks to their variable properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, or lightness, they offer optimum results for every industry.

Our company supports you with expertise and a comprehensive service to identify the right properties of aluminium alloys for your requirements. Rely on us to advance your projects efficiently and sustainably.
