Equipment
State-of-the-art 3,500 MT extrusion press manufactured by Extral Technology SRL in Italy. This large and extremely rigid short-stroke extrusion press will be the largest press in North America dedicated to magnesium alloys. This large tonnage and high rigidity are necessary due to the high forces needed to extrude magnesium that the company manufactures.
In addition, the company operates a production scale foundry with a 500 lb electric Striko Dynarad furnace and two 1,500 lb Habenery gas fired furnaces, as well as several CNC machines.
Industries
We manufacture Magnesium extrusions and castings for a variety of industries including automotive, aerospace, defense, electronics, construction, energy, chemical and others.
