AMS now offer the service of extruding aluminium profile sections. We have invested heavily in state of the art extrusion facilities so, as well as extruding our own profiles, we can offer the service of design & extrusion of other aluminium profiles, not only in the facade industry, but any industry where aluminium extrusions are being used. Imagine the flexibility of being able to have an extrusion that is not in stock available the next day. The extrusion process is so flexible that as soon as we can heat the die and billet to the required temperature, the extrusion of aluminium profile can begin. We are able to produce over 1,000 kg's of extrusion per hour on our press. Once the metal has been extruded it is then oven aged for approximately 8 hours to bring the metal to the required temper. Once aging is complete it can then be made available to the customer, or indeed, go into another process within the same building e.g. Painting, Decoral, thermal break or fabrication.
The extrusion plant will now bring AMS into new markets e.g. Aerospace, Engineering, Renewable energies, transportation to mention a few. It will also generate important export opportunities to many other markets, some of which, we are already supplying today in countries like France.
