We don’t just produce aluminum products. We leverage our deep expertise to serve as a partner to our automotive customers - supporting them every step of the way.
We offer a full range of standard and custom cast products to meet our customers’ business needs. Plus, with two cast houses in operation and a third facility coming soon, we’re positioned to become the largest American producer of high-quality secondary billet. Not only does this result in shorter lead times, but it allows for improved optimization across the value stream.
As a vertically integrated extruder - leveraging technically advanced teams and equipment - we produce standard and custom extrusions and extrusion-based components for a range of demanding applications.
In addition to our in-house extrusion and casting operations, we offer extensive fabrication options that transform aluminum components into finished products. As your one-stop shop for custom aluminum fabrication and assembly, we have the equipment and expertise to bring your product to life.
We deliver products that exceed industry standards. Our comprehensive quality and testing protocols are designed to ensure precision and reliability in every aluminum extrusion we produce.

With an annual casting capacity of 230 million pounds, our facilities produce a range of standard alloys, including 6061, 6063, 6105, 6005A, and 6082. We also offer customized alloys like 6082HD, 6061HS, and 6063HS, designed for enhanced strength and formability, along with alloys optimized for machining performance, such as 6063 EZ and 6061M.
Our homogenization process incorporates application-based metallography and precise microstructure control to meet specific industry needs. Additionally, we support sustainable practices through internal and customer scrap return programs, reinforcing our commitment to resource efficiency and environmental responsibility.
With an annual extrusion capacity of 50 million pounds, our facility operates around the clock with a dedicated team of 300 employees across 300,000 square feet.
Our state-of-the-art press production lines feature advanced equipment, including a 9” 3600 UST Danieli press (installed in 2001) and a 12” 6500 UST Presezzi press (installed in 2015), allowing us to meet the highest standards of precision and quality across all projects.
Our fabrication and assembly capabilities are equipped with state-of-the-art precision cutting technology, featuring nine CNC saws capable of straight and miter cuts. We offer extensive CNC machining capabilities, with 13 lineal process machining centers from Modig and six long-bed, multi-axis machining centers from Haas, Ibarmia, and DMG, alongside six vertical machining centers from Makino and Chiron, and three 10’x10’ hex ram machining centers.
Additionally, our facility provides stretch forming and bending, robotic MIG welding cells, and both manual and automated assembly cells. Our automated robotic cells handle multiple operations, while deburring is available for both end and vibratory processes.
Rounding out our services are punching, piercing, and shearing, ensuring comprehensive fabrication and assembly solutions tailored to precise specifications.
As an IATF 16949:2016 certified company, we prioritize quality and precision in every aspect of our operations.
Our advanced quality and testing equipment includes two OGP Vision Systems that provide live dimensional feedback for accurate assessments.
For structural testing, we utilize a 100-ton press, enabling robust compression strength testing, energy and crash testing, as well as flare and drift testing. Our facility also features two Tinius Olsen tensile testers, fully equipped for TYE and bend testing.
To ensure precise measurements and consistency, we operate five Hexagon CMM machines programmed with PCDMIS and use Q-DAS statistical tracking for detailed data analysis and quality control, supporting our commitment to rigorous standards in all our products and processes.
