Manufacturing and Fabrication Services

Services

We offer manufacturing and fabrication of aluminium products, powder coating and anodising surface finishing, and die design consulting.

We can help with a big project, a surge in production, a streamlined business model, or savings on labour and investment in machinery. The more we handle for you, the more cost-benefit you’ll see. With finishing, machining, assembly, packing and distribution under one roof, efficiencies are gained, and time and money are saved.

Design Consulting

Our experienced design engineers are here to help. AiFAB offers customers a range of extrusion design and consulting services. From simple repetition engineering to large-scale custom assembly projects, we support your project needs.

Fabrication

We built aiFAB as a resource for customers of Aluminium Industries and designed it to maximise efficiency. A one-stop shop for digital fabrication, we offer customised machining and assembly arrangements to suit you.

Finishing

Make the choice to have aiFAB manage your finishing requirements, and we’ll make it easier to deliver the superior results your customers expect from you.

Project Management

After consulting on the design of your new extrusion, we will co-ordinate with the mills to have your extrusion pressed; finish the metal with a powder coat or anodise; cut and machine the raw lengths into shape; assemble your product or component; package it securely, and brand it with your logo; and deliver it to site.

Logistics

We seamlessly move your metal from work centre to work centre, and from our warehouse to your warehouse. Your aluminium extrusions move from stock picking to surface finishing to machining to assembly to packing to dispatch to delivery, without you having to do a thing.

Extrusion

AiFAB caters to exclusive and custom aluminium extrusions. Our extrusion press capabilities include 7-inch, 8-inch, 9-inch and 12-inch billet diameter. Whatever your requirements, we’ve got the supply.
