Mid-States Aluminum

What Mid-States Aluminum does

Mid-States Aluminum is a U.S. custom aluminum manufacturer founded in 1964 and headquartered in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, operating with a reported headcount of 251-500 employees. The company's stated business is custom aluminum extrusion together with downstream assembly and packaging, implying a vertically integrated model where the firm produces extruded aluminum profiles and then performs value-added assembly and packaging steps for customers rather than shipping raw extrusions only. Customers are described in industry terms as OEM-type buyers requiring fabricated aluminum components, consistent with the broader North American metal fabrication sector in which the company operates.

The technical core is conventional aluminum extrusion — forcing heated aluminum billets through shaped dies — followed by secondary operations such as cutting, machining, assembly, and packaging into shippable units. The input provides no specific technical disclosures (press tonnage, die library, automated cell count, finishing capabilities, or quality systems/certifications) beyond the high-level extrusion/assembly/packaging description. There is also no disclosed information on proprietary tooling, patents, or process technology differentiation.

The business model is consistent with a make-to-order custom fabricator: parts are produced against customer specifications, with revenue tied to volumes of qualified components sold into OEM supply chains. No pricing model, contract structure, or revenue split (e.g., extrusion vs. assembly vs. packaging) is disclosed in the available data. The company is privately held with no parent company or public ticker disclosed in the input, and the provided source material notes that firmographic, financial, ownership, and management details specific to Mid-States Aluminum are otherwise absent; the detailed entries in the source aggregation refer to a different company (MEC Inc./Mayville Engineering Company) and should not be attributed to Mid-States Aluminum.
