Halex Extrusion Dies

What Halex Extrusion Dies does

Halex Extrusion Dies is a European specialty manufacturer of aluminium extrusion tools and dies, headquartered in Aldenhoven, Germany, with additional production sites in Weißenburg (Germany), Gussago, and Verdello (Italy). The company designs, develops, and manufactures custom extrusion tools and accessories, serving aluminium extrusion plants that supply the automotive, industrial electronics, construction, medical technology, electromobility, transport, and hydraulics end-markets. Halex self-positions as Europe's leading manufacturer in this niche and has operated for over 30 years.

The core product portfolio comprises Strangpresswerkzeuge (extrusion tools) and Extrusionswerkzeuge (extrusion dies), complemented by Strangpresszubehör (extrusion accessories), covering tool diameters from 114mm to 1,100mm. Production is conducted entirely in-house using CAD-CAM design and manufacturing, program-controlled CNC machining centres with automated pallet loading capable of handling workpieces up to 1,100mm in diameter, and wire and die-sinking EDM (electroerosion) for friction-optimized surfaces. Simulation programmes are used at the design stage to optimize aluminium flow and die service life. All four sites hold ISO 9001 quality management and ISO 14001 environmental management certifications; the German sites additionally hold ISO 50001 energy management certification.

Halex operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canada's Exco Technologies Limited within its Die-Cast and Extrusion Groups segment. The company sells exclusively through a direct sales model with on-site consultation, close customer-engineering collaboration, and post-delivery technical support; no distributors or channel partners are used. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed, reflecting the custom-engineered nature of each tool. Customers range from globally active enterprises to SMEs, with a worldwide footprint anchored in European manufacturing.
