What Tower Extrusions does

Tower Extrusions is a privately held, vertically integrated aluminum extrusion manufacturer founded in 1977 and headquartered in Olney, Texas. The company operates 16 extrusion presses across five facilities in Olney, Wylie (two sites), and Sherman, Texas, plus Humacao, Puerto Rico, with combined annual extrusion capacity exceeding 300 million pounds and billet casting capacity exceeding 275 million pounds through two in-house cast houses. Its service portfolio spans the full aluminum value chain — in-house billet casting using Wagstaff NuMax and AirSlip mold technology, precision extrusion in press sizes from 6" to 12", CNC fabrication including 5-axis machining up to 50 feet, and certified finishing (anodizing in 40-foot tanks to AAMA 611; powder coating to AAMA 2603/2604/2605; liquid paint), supported by a closed-loop recycling system that reclaims 100% of in-house scrap. Tower holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and key architectural-industry credentials (AAMA, AEC, FGIA, Aluminum Anodizers Council).

The company serves four primary end markets — Building & Construction, Transportation, Energy & Electrical, and General Industrial — with use cases ranging from window and door systems, trailers and truck bodies, solar mounting and bus bar, to machinery and consumer durables. It reaches customers through direct enterprise sales, a public die catalog of thousands of standard profiles, a multi-step quote form, and transparent pricing tied to the Midwest Transaction Price aluminum index (June Midwest Average of $2.717/lb). Revenue is generated primarily through custom quote-based hardware sales of extrusions, fabrications, cast billets, and finishing services under multi-year contracts, with no named customer concentration disclosed. Growth has been driven by a sustained M&A cadence: Extruders, Inc. (2016), Ascend Custom Extrusions (2018), Alpur (2022), and a Sherman, Texas extrusion facility (2025).
