Precision extrusions in aluminium
Article Abstract:
Mifa Aluminium, B.V., Netherlands, has pioneered a technology where they use aluminum extrusions in small quantities to enable integration of several functions in a single profile. The company uses advanced raw materials, advanced presses along with innovative research and development to extrude higher dimensional form tolerances than standard extrusions with quality being checked automatically.
