Sections, sheet and extrusions
Aluminium
Aluminium sourcing focused on alloy grade, surface quality and tooling cost. We assess extrusion plants by their tooling stock, anodising capacity and the carbon footprint of their input material.
- CO₂
- Footprint stated per supplier
- VDA 2
- Sampling before series start
What you have in hand at the end
Not a status report but delivered work results — decided, documented, and with someone accountable for each.
5
work results handed over, each with a named owner and a date.
- Alloy and temper advice based on the component's function
- Extruder selection including an assessment of tooling cost
- Surface specification for anodising and powder coating
- Carbon accounting of the input material per supplier
- Sampling to VDA 2 before series release
Providers who deliver this module
We plan and support; delivery is by checked companies from the marketplace. We take no commission from the provider side for it.
Materials & Metals
Material suppliers with complete test certificates to EN 10204 3.1/3.2 and batch traceability down to the point of installation — coil, sheet, section, forging and casting.
Manufacturing & Machining
Machining from single-part sampling through to series production. Partners in this category evidence their machine park, their tolerance classes and their gauge capability.
Engineering & Design
External design offices for machinery and fixtures, FEA calculation and technical documentation. What is designed here is a known principle; where the principle itself is still open, the work begins in “Research & Development”.
