Maßgeschneiderte Profile

Through Smiths Profiles, our sister company within the Smiths organisation, we have developed an expertise in the design, specification, procurement, stocking and supply of bespoke aluminium extrusions. High performance applications for extrusions require careful specification from the design of the extrusion and the selection of the alloy to the die design and the finish applied to the extrusion.

Utilising its existing resources, Smiths HP can offer other services in the supply of bespoke extrusions

Design and procurement

Smiths HP works with established extruders in Europe and further afield to find the optimum source for particular applications

Manage stocks of finished profiles

extruders demand high minimum order quantities for non-standard extrusions, requiring users to hold stocks
different profiles are often used in combination. Smiths HP can assemble and supply sets of profiles

Supply to production schedules

Smiths supplier managed inventory system and fabrication facilities ensure supply when and where needed

The use of extrusions rather than other forms of aluminium fabrication can offer advantages in design; aesthetically, physically and in cost terms. Extrusion dies are relatively inexpensive compared with other bespoke tooling for aluminium or alternative materials.
