Lightweight Advantage: How Aluminum Extrusion Products Redefine Efficiency

Aluminum extrusion products are the ultimate lightweight champions, transforming industries with their featherweight strength. At Southwest Aluminium (Kunshan) Co., Ltd, we’ve crafted bars and tubes since 2012 that redefine efficiency in aerospace, automotive, and beyond. Why is lightweight so transformative?

At just 2.7 g/cm³, aluminum is a third the weight of steel. Extrusion optimizes this, creating hollow tubes or thin-walled profiles without sacrificing strength—6061 extrusions hit 310 MPa tensile strength. This lightness slashes fuel use in aircraft wings or boosts EV range, critical for sustainability. Our 8,000-ton presses produce seamless tubes for bike frames or drone bodies, blending agility with durability.

Distributors value our 70,000-ton capacity for stable supply, while machining factories in the EU trust our EN 755-compliant bars for easy cutting. Custom designs let us tailor wall thickness or shapes, minimizing weight further. ISO 9001 ensures precision, and BV certifications confirm quality.

The lightweight edge fuels innovation —— think foldable solar panels or portable medical devices. With 24-hour quotes, Southwest Aluminium (Kunshan) empowers clients to build leaner, greener products. Aluminum extrusions don’t just reduce weight; they lift industries toward a more efficient future.
