Aluminum Extrusions

The range of aluminum extrusion applications at Coltwell Industries Inc., is an endless amount. We consider no aluminum extrusion or aluminum component applications too big or too small. Almost any quantity may be practical if the shape fits the extrusions process. Perhaps more than any other forming process, aluminum extruding offers the designer a creative challenge. A combination of good design and extruded parts can serve as both decorative and functional duties. Hinges and fasteners can be made into an integral part of the design. Three or more parts can be combined into one extrusion and complicated shapes can be produced for a relatively slight increase in cost. A key reason for the growth of aluminum extrusion and aluminum component applications is that the cost of the dies is nominal. Also, complex shapes almost always cost less extruded rather than formed, rolled or machined. A simple die for a solid shape costs less.

Lead times are rarely a problem with aluminum extrusions. The process itself is fast compared to other production processes. Only a few weeks to make a production die for solid shapes as well as hollow extrusions.
