Aluminum
Extrusions.
Structural precision. Engineered at scale.
Custom aluminum extruded profiles and standard shapes — globally sourced and program-managed. MES controls the dies, tolerances, and secondary operations to deliver finished components ready for assembly.
What is aluminum extrusion?
Extrusion forces heated aluminum billet through a highly engineered steel die to create continuous profiles. It allows for complex cross-sections that integrate mounting channels, heat-dissipating fins, and structural ribs directly into the raw material shape.
Ideal for structural framing, thermal management, and enclosures, aluminum extrusion minimizes material waste and downstream machining while maintaining a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Extrusion profiles & tooling
Solid Profiles
Solid shapes with no enclosed voids. Highly cost-effective tooling for rails, brackets, heatsinks with fins, and structural supports.
Heatsinks, brackets, and structural beams.
Hollow & Semi-Hollow
Profiles featuring completely enclosed voids or deep channels. Manufactured using specialized porthole dies to merge material flows inside the tooling.
Tubing, enclosures, window frames, and fluid manifolds.
Most extrusions require finishing. MES manages precision cutting, CNC machining (drilling, tapping, milling), and surface finishing (anodizing, powder coating, chromating) to deliver a completed, ready-to-assemble part.
Extrusion Alloys
The 6000-series aluminum alloys are the workhorse of the extrusion industry. They offer excellent extrudability, high structural strength, corrosion resistance, and are readily anodized or welded.

Frequently asked questions
Custom extrusion dies typically take 2-4 weeks to manufacture, depending on the complexity of the profile (solid vs. hollow) and the number of cavities. Sample profiles are provided for approval shortly after tooling completion.
Yes. We provide comprehensive secondary operations including precision cutting, CNC drilling and tapping, bending, welding, and surface finishing (anodizing, powder coating, and brushing).
6061 is preferred for high-strength structural applications, while 6063 offers a better surface finish and superior anodizing response, making it ideal for visible architectural or consumer product components.
Absolutely. We match your extrusion requirements with our vetted network of extrusion partners across Mexico, India, Vietnam, and other regions to optimize cost, tooling, and lead time.
