Alex Global Aerospace Technology

What Alex Global Aerospace Technology does

Alex Global Aerospace Technology is a Taiwan-headquartered, privately-held industrial manufacturer specializing in single-piece forged aluminium and magnesium wheels under the ALEXRIMS brand. Founded in 1987 as Alex Machinery Factory, the company has expanded through bicycle rims (1992), materials science (2001), and forged vehicle wheels (2007), now operating seven global locations serving automotive OEM and motorsport customers primarily in Europe, the UK and the United States, with secondary segments in commercial vehicles, motorcycles, aerospace/military and bicycles. Core technology is vertically integrated from in-house alloy formulation (aluminium 2000/5000/6000/7000 series, magnesium AZ80, Scandium and custom alloys) through self-developed hydraulic forging presses up to 12,000T, flow forming, T4/T6 heat treatment, and 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining — supported by Net Shape (3D) forging for complex structural components used in suspension and aerospace applications.

The company generates revenue primarily through one-time B2B sales of custom forged wheels and components as a 1st or 2nd tier supplier to leading vehicle manufacturers, with quote-based pricing and no disclosed standard rate card. Its go-to-market is enterprise direct field sales, including collaborative technical partnerships with digital sign-off processes throughout the development cycle. A 2022-established European base in Italy provides direct Sales, Technical, Quality and Supply Chain support, complementing the expanded Taiwan global headquarters. The company markets through its website, social media channels and motorsport racing partnerships (Modena Cars, AF-Corse, Comunello, Andrea Montermini, LeMans Cup), holds ISO9001, ISO14001, TS16949, VIA and TÜV certifications, and operates an Innovation Centre partnered with university researchers focused on materials science and forging technology. Owner/leadership data, revenue figures, external funding and detailed pricing are not publicly disclosed, and ownership appears founder-controlled with no identified institutional investor exposure.
