General engineering

It isn’t getting smaller, the amount of aluminium being poured into general engineering applications. Customers keep finding new ways to use the metal. That’s why.

Engineering, in general

What becomes difficult is when customers try to find the precise piece of aluminium for their particular applications. This is where Hydro can help.

80,000 different extrusions

For instance, the company is capable of delivering more than 80,000 different extrusions for applications that include industrial machinery, precision engineering and medical instruments.

No customers are the same

As with products, of course, no customers are the same either. Sometimes, an extrusion does not give the right fit. This can be the case with the real special stuff - space technologies, semiconductors and the like – when the company’s high purity aluminium is the only answer.

Need more convincing? If you are unsure about transformer windings and wire rod for power cables, then Hydro will let you know which direction is best to take.
