What industries benefit from the advantages of extrusion?
Undoubtedly, the transport industry, which uses profiles in trucks, buses, cars, trains and ships, is a major user. The consumption of aluminium profiles by the transport industry is increasing at a pace with the demand for increasingly lightweight vehicles with lower energy consumption and reduced environmental impact. But the situation is similar in several industries. Profiles are used for all types of design solutions – such as machine parts, furniture details and products for the recreational sector. The electronics industry: cooling flanges, equipment boxes and front covers. The design industry: profile systems for doors, windows, facades and glass ceilings, etc. There are many examples.
Demand for recyclability is growing in all industries. There is no design material that is more recyclable than aluminium. This fact will become increasingly significant. Increasing numbers of new profile designs will be developed in all industries. The use of aluminium and profile technique is in fact just beginning.
