Aluminium is light, durable and fully recyclable. Its good strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion make it ideal for camping and outdoor equipment, in all types of weather conditions.

Aluminium is easy to clean and maintain, and it looks good, both in high-end outdoor furniture and in many other relevant application areas.

• Caravans, mobile homes and recreational vehicles

  Aluminium applications include structural frames, support legs and profiles, cross struts, window and door frames, slide-out stairs, roof racks and storage solutions, and furniture.

• Tents, shelters and shade solutions

  Aluminium applications include awnings, backpacking and expedition tents, family camping and car roof tents, support legs, portable canopies for outdoor events, inflatable tents, and screen houses.

• Camping and recreational equipment

  Aluminium applications include bicycle and roof racks, mounting rails, telescopic ladders, door and window frames for protection against insects, tables and chairs. ​

Why extruded aluminium?

In these industry segments, product designers select materials based on their ability to withstand environmental conditions while providing durability, lightweight properties, and versatility.

Designers interested in aluminium prefer the extrusion process, which offers design freedom and integrates various functions. This is valuable in the design stage, where cost savings – or budget overruns – tend to occur. Aluminium’s aesthetic appeal will also benefit your application because the light metal has a look that sells.

We know that the quality of your products is important, that sustainability is one of your objectives, and that keeping your product range valid over time is a priority. This is why we would like to discuss using our low-carbon or recycled aluminium for your product applications.
