Can you make our profile from a drawing?
Yes. A new die is made to your drawing (a one-time die cost), then trial extrusions are approved before bulk.
What does CBAM mean for profiles?
Aluminium profiles are CBAM goods. EU importers above the 50 t/yr threshold need embedded-emissions data from the producer and must buy certificates.
Do 6 m profiles fit in a 20' container?
No. A 20' box is about 5.9 m inside, so 6 m lengths need 40' containers.
