COMPLETE EXTRUSION. ENGINEERED AS ONE.
Complete Extrusion Lines

One production objective. One integrated extrusion line.

ALUFORMIX develops complete extrusion-line solutions that connect process engineering, equipment selection, material flow, automation, utilities and project execution. Each line is configured around the customer’s product mix, target capacity, billet range, site conditions and automation priorities.
