Design Assistance
Supporting your bespoke aluminium profile designs
Early design for manufacture support on aluminium extrusion, machining, finishing, and packaging to ensure most efficient production possible.
Reviewing your Aluminium Profile Design
Send us your bespoke aluminium profile design and we'll provide a quotation. But we'll also work with you to ensure the profile is designed for efficient manufacture. If we spot any unnecessary complexity that could add risk and bump up costs, we'll suggest minor adjustments that'll reduce costs and the likelihood of issues, without affecting the product's performance. By helping to streamline designs, we've been able to help clients reduce their aluminium profile production costs by up to 50%.

Prototyping Your Bespoke Aluminium Profile
Once the design is agreed upon, we produce a prototype of your custom aluminium product for validation. Prototype parts are typically delivered within 4 to 6 weeks.
Production Launch
After prototype approval, we launch full-scale production to deliver your custom aluminium product ready to be installed in your own production chain. Our production lead time is approximately 3 to 4 months. There is no need to fill in a full container per order, because we receive shipments from our production centre every 2 weeks.
