Core offering

Profile Custom Extrusions (now operating as part of Metra North America) manufactures custom and standard aluminum profile extrusions for industrial and architectural customers. It delivers a vertically integrated value chain spanning extrusion, secondary fabrication, and finishing (anodizing and AAMA-certified coatings) across multiple North American facilities, selling directly to window and door makers, solar, transportation, and general industrial manufacturers.

Product overview

Profile Custom Extrusions operates as part of Metra North America, a unified company formed by consolidating three aluminum producers (Extruded Aluminum Company, Profile Custom Extrusions, and Metra Canada). The company offers a vertically integrated suite of aluminum extrusion services consisting of Extrusions (core manufacturing), Fabrication (secondary processing), and Finishing (anodizing and coating). The three core services work together as an integrated value chain—from initial extrusion through secondary fabrication to final finishing—all performed domestically in North American facilities. The company also provides industry-specific solutions in Building and Industry markets, and offers educational resources through its Extruded Aluminum 101 program.
