Using the best of what an aluminum profile extruder can do, specializing in the aluminum extrusion process, and full service extrusion integrator
Flexibility
Our extrusion process as the beginning of a comprehensive solution for your product
As an aluminum profile extruder, we develop solutions for each product you require. Using our extrusion process, as a recognized global supplier, we provide flexibility and innovation when converting your idea to a finished product.
ABC Essentials
Achieved with a minimum pressure of 40 tons per square inch of the surface of the die or mold pre-heated to 530°C, shaping the product to the requirements that the client requested. An optimally extruded profile requires three essential elements:
- Extrusion press
- Aluminum ingot
- Die or mold, of the shape to be produced
Optimal development
Extrusion is the main process at ABC Aluminum company. We exert pressure on the aluminum ingot towards a profile product, depending on the size and clamping force used, it will result in the flexibility to change the shape or appearance of the required profile.
Machinery
We have the right equipment for your needs
At ABC Aluminum, we can make any shape or figure for any application. We adapt to what the product requires and support our capabilities with our extensive high-tech and versatile machinery unique in North America.
By having the right equipment for your product, we analyze each profile to adapt the die and the corresponding machine, depending on various factors such as weight, length, and pressure that the profile needs.
We work with profiles from 100 grams per meter to 20 kg per meter, with seven extrusion machines.

Quality
Profiles guaranteed by our quality in Aluminum
Our quality laboratory provides the verification of parameters of all the products that go through our extrusion processes.
When concluding with an aluminum profile, a piece is extracted and we capture a photograph verifying in our database if the material has the characteristics that the client requires.
This quality control is revised in our state-of-the-art and high-tech system Romidot, which produces dimensional verification results in real-time. This allows for greater efficiency during the production of profiles, which translates into cost savings.
100% automated presses
In each of our presses, we have personnel trained and specialized in quality control, that evaluate real-time data, measurements, and parameters produced by our high-tech equipment, avoiding errors, and improving the product.
In addition to our constant evaluation, we have an area specialized in mechanical tests, verifying that the product passes the stress, yield, and performance tests. This guarantees the material’s hardness and handling with certificated documents available to the customer.

Process
Without limits and flexible to create any profile you need
At ABC Aluminum, we offer you comprehensive solutions, being professionals in each project we work on. With a process where we adapt to your idea and generate the solutions that your product requires.
- We receive a physical sample, prototype or drawing of the profile that the client requires
- Based on the client's sample, we carry out a feasibility analysis, reviewing commercial tolerances and the specific requirements for the product
- We make the project quotation for approval by the client
- At the time of confirmation, we create the dies according to the conditions stipulated between the client and ourselves
- The mold or die for the product is generated, as well as the operating instructions for the internal equipment
- Before delivering a sample to the client, we perform quality-control tests and verify functional conditions, requested measurements, and durability tests.
- Finally, the customer approves the test profile, and we start with the mass production of aluminum profiles.
Extrusion
We develop appropriate solutions in each of our services, showing you quality at every step so that your aluminum profile is a reality of excellence.
- We start by integrating the three essential elements: press, mold, and ingot
- The ingot is pre-heated so that it reaches its molten state with the correct temperature, entering the appropriate extrusion press, generates the established pressure and pushes through the die, flowing at 530°C, becoming a soft and manageable material
- Once the aluminum profile material is cold, we proceed to the tempering process, stretching it and eliminating any deviation caused by cooling.
- We cut to size according to customer requirements.
One of the essential components in the equipment of our process is our artificially aging ovens, introducing an aluminum profile for 6 hours at 380°F, giving the material, complete durability. This process takes place naturally in 1 year, but with our technology we reduce it to hours.
