Availability, specifications and pricing are confirmed individually for each enquiry. Listing a product category here does not mean that it is held in stock.
Aluminium's strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and recyclability make it essential in construction, transport, packaging and electrical applications. Alloy and temper choice — 5083-H111 plate for marine work, 6063-T6 extrusions for architectural systems, 1050 or 3003 sheet for general forming — determine performance and cost.
We source flat-rolled products, extrusions and primary metal against recognised standards such as EN 485 and EN 573 for sheet and plate or EN 755 for extruded products, and confirm alloy, temper, tolerances and finish before quotation.

What to include in your enquiry
- Product form, alloy and temper (for example 6063-T6, 5083-H111)
- Dimensions, tolerances and finish (mill, anodised, powder-coated)
- For extrusions: drawings, profile weight per metre and length
- Quantity in metric tonnes and delivery schedule
- Certification and inspection requirements
- Destination and preferred Incoterms
| Typical order basis | Metric tonnes; extrusions may also be priced per kilogram or per metre with die costs stated separately. |
|---|---|
| Price basis | Primary metal is commonly priced from a reference market price plus premium; semis include a conversion charge. |
| Documentation | Mill certificates, packing lists and certificates of origin; origin can affect duties and trade measures. |
| Custom profiles | New extrusion dies involve tooling cost and lead time, confirmed with the extruder before order. |

Frequently asked questions
Can you source custom aluminium extrusions?
Yes. Send a drawing with alloy, temper, finish and annual volume. Die cost, minimum order and lead time are confirmed with the extruder in the quotation.
What purity are aluminium ingots?
Primary ingots are commonly traded at 99.7% aluminium (P1020A). The exact specification is confirmed per offer and supported by a certificate of analysis.
Do you supply aluminium for construction projects?
We can source sheet, coil, extrusions and tube for construction applications. Project compliance requirements should be included in the enquiry.
What is the difference between 6063 and 6082?
6063 extrudes easily into complex shapes with a very good surface finish, ideal for architectural profiles. 6082 is stronger and used for structural and engineering sections.
Which aluminium is best for marine use?
5083 in H111 or H321 temper is widely used for marine plate because of its excellent seawater corrosion resistance; 6082-T6 is common for marine sections.
