Working With UK Providers, Minimising Our Carbon Footprint

Our Expertise

Stringent controls ensure the production of high-quality aluminium extrusions. Aluminium billets are forced through a bespoke die made of steel, both are heated at more than 500 ° C to allow the semi-molten aluminium to pass through the die and take on its accurate shape.

A wide range of extrusion presses are at our disposal which can produce extruded aluminium profiles from 5-inch to 15-inch billet size diameters. We can accommodate almost every type of profile our customers require, in soft alloys from 1mm wall thickness upwards, with a minimum chargeable weight of 150g / linear metre to 25 kilos per linear metre.

Technical Information

Taking an initial customer design, we can assist with extrusion optimisation, to offer weight and cost savings, along with ensuring a profile which is easier to extrude and maximises die lifespan. This all leads to increased reliability and consistency across batch manufacturing.

Using the latest 3D Solidworks, GSM will provide a comprehensive die drawing (and where applicable, fabrication drawing), for approval, confirming the extrusion standards and tolerances achievable for the profile, in line with EN755-9 or EN12020-2.

Quality Dies

The key to producing quality extrusions, is to design, manufacture and maintain quality dies. An experienced in-house team in our factory die shop, is crucial to helping us achieve this to the highest standard. This runs alongside outsourcing die manufacture when required, using only the most skilled providers.

Once a customer commits to a die, any duplication or maintenance costs tend to be covered by GSM Aluminium.

Our extrusions are manufactured using a combination of virgin and recycled billets, with full manufacturing traceability. Recycled billets typically contain 98% of recycled aluminium.

Sample Inspection Reports

Using Romidot Machines, CMM and Faro Arm measuring equipment, all extruded profiles and machined parts are checked and reports produced confirming the extrusions conform to the stated drawing tolerances. 

Material Certificates

Material Certificate EN10204-3.1B can be issued for each extrusion on request showing theoretical composition and properties. Specific extrusion analysis can be undertaken if needed at additional cost.
