Located in Carrollton, Texas, Western Extrusions is a premier provider of high-quality aluminum extrusions in all of North America. Founded in 1979 with a single 7” extrusion press operating in a facility of just 49,000 square feet, the company has a 37-year tradition of seeking out state of the art technologies to constantly improve the quality, efficiency, and scope of its aluminum extrusion production processes. In keeping with this approach, Western Extrusions has announced plans to add a new 5100-ton, 14” press to its five extrusion presses.
With plans to install the press along side an existing 5000-ton press, this new press will provide increased flexibility, capacity, and redundancy to ensure Western Extrusion’s ability to meet customers’ ever-increasing demands for large close-tolerance aluminum extrusions. The new press will be capable of producing profiles up to 19” wide and will enhance the company’s ability to provide extrusions for applications including machinery, solar, transportation, electrical, consumer durables, construction, and building.
