ALMAG Aluminum

What ALMAG Aluminum does

ALMAG Aluminum is a privately held, family-owned custom aluminum extrusion manufacturer founded in 1953 and headquartered in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. The company operates three North American manufacturing facilities — Brampton, Ontario (over 350,000 sq ft); Florence, Alabama (approximately 30,000 sq ft); and Pennsauken, New Jersey — collectively exceeding 380,000 sq ft and housing six extrusion presses ranging from 1,250 to 2,750 tons. ALMAG specializes in complex, thin-walled, tight-tolerance, high-visual aluminum profiles, with documented technical capabilities including up to 39 hollows in a single profile (vs. industry standard 3-5), wall thicknesses under 0.040 inches, and tongue ratios of 9:1 or greater.

ALMAG's core offering is an integrated design-to-finish service that bundles extrusion with in-house fabrication (CNC machining up to 5-axis, cutting, bending, drilling, tapping) and finishing (anodizing, powder coating, polishing, e-coating, wet paint, custom finishing), supported by on-site 3D rapid prototyping, optical scanning quality inspection, and the proprietary Inspire Tool — an interactive 3D web design platform. The company claims industry-leading 10-business-day new tooling turnaround. Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-by-project B2B sales with no subscription or recurring component, delivered via direct inside/field sales teams.

ALMAG serves enterprise customers across six primary verticals: automotive (including Wrightspeed for EV motor housings and GM), medical/healthcare, lighting systems, office systems and furniture, store fixtures and signage (including City of Toronto), and solar/renewable energy. Named enterprise customers include Google, GM, Amazon, Nike, Bombardier, Tiffany & Co., Mercedes-Benz, T-Mobile, Legrand, and GE. The company employs over 400 people and has been recognized as one of Canada's Best Managed Companies for 10 consecutive years.

Revenue model

1. Aluminum Extrusion Products (One-Time Purchase): ALMAG designs, extrudes, fabricates, and finishes custom aluminum profiles for B2B customers across multiple industries. Customers purchase custom extrusion products on a project/order basis. Short lead times and tight tolerances give customers competitive advantage. New tooling available in 10 business days. Profiles are cut to lengths typically between 8 and 24 feet. Complete end-to-end solutions including design collaboration, extrusion, fabrication, and finishing. No recurring subscription; revenue is transaction-based per order.
2. Fabrication Services: Secondary fabrication operations (cutting, CNC machining, drilling, tapping, punching, notching, bending, forming, assembly, etc.) performed in-house or through trusted partners. Adds value to extruded profiles, enabling customers to receive complete ready-to-assemble or finished components.
3. Finishing Services: In-house and partner-based finishing services including anodizing, powder coating, polishing, brushing, e-coating, wet paint, alodining, brite dip, hardcoat anodizing, chrome plating, engraving, laser etching, silk screening, and custom finishing. Finishing services are applied to extrusions as an additional service, bundled with the primary extrusion/fabrication product sale.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Exco Tooling SolutionscoreTechnology or IntegrationALMAG has a close relationship with Exco Tooling Solutions, a tool design partner. For the Far Field Telecom radio concealment pole project, Exco Tooling Solutions created a custom tool design that allowed the maximum width of the extrusion to exit the press — pushing the limits of ALMAG's newly commissioned 8-inch extrusion press. The partnership enables ALMAG to achieve complex extrusion profiles that would otherwise be impossible.
• Far Field TelecomcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerALMAG collaborated with Chad Schwartz and his team from Far Field Telecom to develop a US-patented (Canadian patent pending) radio concealment pole for smart city infrastructure. ALMAG's technical sales team conceptualized the design incorporating multiple integrated extrusions working together to form one complete assembly. Aspects of the design were influenced by ALMAG's Inspire tool. The partnership pushed the limits of ALMAG's newly commissioned 8-inch extrusion press.
• WrightspeedcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerCollaborative design and engineering project between Wrightspeed and ALMAG Aluminum to develop the Route™ Electric Motor Housing for electric vehicles. ALMAG applied its aluminum extrusion expertise in material selection (6063 T65 alloy), profile design (20 hollows for coolant flow with serrated port interiors), and manufacturing to create a lightweight, thermally managed motor housing solution for the EV market.
• McMaster University (Engineering Programs)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerALMAG supports the McMaster Engineering Concrete Toboggan team and the MAC Formula Electric racing team through sponsorships and by providing crucial materials for their designs. These are student engineering design teams that compete in national and international competitions, with ALMAG contributing aluminum extrusion materials and expertise to support their engineering projects.
• ET Foundation (Student Design Competition)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerALMAG is a sponsor of the ET Foundation International Aluminum Extrusion Design Competition, which invites students to design innovative products using aluminum extrusion. ALMAG's sponsorship supports the contribution of students to extrusion design and brings awareness to the design options and applications of aluminum extrusions. Supporting students and recognizing their accomplishments supports ALMAG's industry as a whole.
• Academic Institutions (High Schools, Colleges, Universities)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerALMAG partners with training programs for high schools, colleges, and universities where students and teachers are welcome to attend presentations and plant tours to learn about ALMAG and the aluminum extrusion industry. ALMAG also has regular placements for co-op students in various departments — paid positions in their field of study that allow students to apply concepts learned in class to gain real work experience.
