extrusion

Extrusion is where it all begins. It’s the foundation of everything we do – transforming raw aluminium into precision profiles that meet your exact performance, dimensional, and aesthetic requirements.

In-House Extrusion Capabilities

In-House Extrusion
Capabilities

We operate a fully integrated extrusion facility at our Corby site, giving us complete control over quality, speed and cost at every stage of the production process.

High-Capacity Direct Press

1200-tonne press produces aluminium profiles exceeding 4kg per metre for demanding, heavy-duty applications.

Precision Indirect Press

900-tonne indirect press enables lightweight profiles as small as 0.03 kg/metre with excellent precision.

Consistent Tolerances

Tight dimensional tolerances maintained even on long production runs, ensuring consistent quality and fit.

Fast Die Turnaround

Rapid lead times for new dies and profile samples to accelerate your product development cycle.

In-House Nitriding

Nitriding facilities on-site ensure fast turnaround for both new and repeat aluminium extrusion orders.

Full Batch Traceability

Every extrusion batch is fully traceable with rigorous quality control for reliable and accountable production.

From Design to Delivery

One of the biggest challenges in aluminium extrusion is reducing the time from concept to finished part. At Aluminium Shapes, we have refined our systems to deliver the fastest design to delivery services in the UK. Our tooling and die development capabilities allow us to move quickly from CAD drawings to production-ready tooling, helping you bring your products to market faster.

We work closely with our customers to optimise profiles for both performance and manufacturability – ensuring your design is both technically sound and cost-effective to produce. If you’re unsure about feasibility or need support on material selection, our technical team is here to help.

No Minimum Quantities

Whether you need a one-off prototype, a small test batch, or a full-scale production run, we can meet your requirements without minimum order constraints. We believe in flexibility – so you get exactly the volume you need, at the quality you expect.

This makes us a valuable partner not only for major manufacturers, but also for R&D teams, product designers, and small businesses looking to develop custom aluminium solutions.
