Aluminum Extrusions

Aluminum Extrusions

Aluminum Extrusions

(OP)
On occasions we have need of a small quantity of a custom extruded aluminum shape. For the very small quantities we mill the desired shape from bar. For the larger quantities, still smaller then most extruders like to mess with, we pay the price and have the shape extruded. And other times we pass the project because the cost is simply too restrictive. Over the years we've scoured many online business directories, phone books, and search engines hoping to uncover that one gem of an extruder who embraces small quantity requirements. We would enjoy any ideas anyone would wish to share about any extruders you my know or additional places or resources where we might look in this quest. Thanks, K.



RE: Aluminum Extrusions

Sometimes when you scour, you hit bottom.  Outside of a specialized trade magazine, Thomas Register and Global Spec are very good for that sort of thing.  

I have searched and hit the wall in a similar fashion, only to find a keyword or letter or some such out of wack.  Sometimes persistence pays off.  Good luck.
