Metal of the Future

Aluminum has been endowed with unusually many positive properties. Because of this, the material is, after iron, the most often used metal in a class by itself.

And the extrusion technology is particularly well suited for this material. The metal is light, formable and has high strength. Its corrosion resistance is high and the ability to conduct heat and electricity is well known and confirmed. And because aluminum is practically available in unlimited quantities, the metal is an important part of a sustainable society. Therefore, it is not so strange that many people call aluminium the metal of the future.

Everything becomes lighter with aluminium

Aluminum is a metal with unusually many positive properties. It is light-weight, strong, flexible, formable and recyclable – the list could be made long. Extrusion is a technology with a very wide area of application. It makes it possible to produce custom-made aluminum profiles at a low cost. When the material and the technology work together, a vast array of possibilities becomes available to develop customer-specific solutions. Cars become lighter. Furniture more elegant. Beds more comfortable. Sailing yachts stronger. At Sapa we have an experience of hundreds of thousands of designs, and every day we can see examples of how ideas and solutions cross-fertilize.
