How we make aluminium work for you

At BOAL Extrusion NL, we do more than just extrude aluminium.

Together, we develop aluminium profiles that integrate seamlessly into your product and process. Whether it’s a profile for a solar solution, construction, greenhouse systems, transport or electronics - every aluminium profile is engineered to perform.

With over 50 years of experience, advanced technology and a diverse customer base, we’ve earned our reputation as a FAST.RELIABLE.TRUSTED. partner. What sets us apart is how we work: with precision, partnership and purpose.

We don’t just ask for a drawing - we start a conversation to uncover the true purpose and function of the profile”, says Ton Koldewijn, Technical Support Manager. “Based on those insights, we co-develop a profile solution that truly fits -not just in shape, but in performance, planning and cost.

From concept to extrusion: a process built on collaboration

We begin by listening and asking the right questions. What are the functional requirements? Where will the profile sit within the assembly? What tolerances, finishes or machining steps are needed? What’s the budget and what are the time constraints?

From there, we jointly initiate the design process. We develop prototypes, select the appropriate aluminium alloy and prepare for extrusion - step by step, in close consultation. Machining and finishing options are carefully aligned to ensure every profile meets the required specifications.

Thanks to our ISO-certified processes, we guarantee consistency and quality at every stage.

We don’t believe in standard solutions. We believe in profiles that fit your product, your timeline and your way of working”, says Ton.

Sustainability without compromise

Through our BLUE programme, we can extrude your final profile using recycled and/or sustainably produced aluminium billet - helping you reduce your environmental footprint without compromising on quality.

With BLUE, sustainability is embedded in our processes - not added as an afterthought.
