A custom aluminum extrusion partner for export programs
Buying custom extrusions from China works brilliantly — until the anodise batches stop matching or the die wears nobody mentions it. P&A International runs extrusion programs the engineering-led way: vetted partner plants (every one ISO 9000 certified or better), finish standards locked with samples, die condition tracked, and one dedicated engineer accountable to you.
We are not a plant with spare press time to fill; we are the engineering layer that makes the right plant perform for your program, year after year.

What an extrusion program includes
Conversion engineering
Machined, folded or roll-formed parts redesigned as profiles — often halving piece cost at volume.
Qualified production
Profiles extruded to EN/GB standards with first-article measurement and finish samples on file.
Machining & fabrication
Cut, drilled, tapped, CNC-machined and assembled — components and kits, not just lengths of profile.
Finish consistency
Anodise and powder-coat standards locked with master samples — batch one matches batch forty.
Qualifying a second supplier for an existing profile is a one-die, low-risk way to test the model — most programs start exactly there.
Engineering capability
- Profile conversion engineering: from machined/folded part to extrudable section
- Second-source qualification: die copy, first-article correlation, finish matching
- Die wear monitoring with scheduled inspection and replacement planning
- Master-sample finish control for anodise colour and powder-coat consistency
- Machining, fabrication and kitting of extruded components
- Call-off scheduling with buffer stock agreements for steady supply
- Full quality file: profile measurements, alloy certs, finish test reports

Why engineers & buyers choose PA
For design engineers
Profile programs degrade quietly: dies wear, anodise drifts, tolerances creep. Your engineer tracks die condition and finish correlation against master samples, so degradation is caught at inspection — not in your assembly jig.
For purchasing
One supplier relationship instead of plant-shopping every year: itemised pricing, locked finish standards, buffer-stock call-offs, and an ISO 9000 certified or better network behind every quote — extrusion supply that behaves like a programme, not a gamble.
3 easy steps to get started
Send the part or profile
Current drawings, the problems you have had, and annual volumes.
Program proposal
Conversion or second-source plan, die and part pricing, finish standards, supply terms.
Qualify, then supply
First articles correlated, master samples signed, call-off supply with quality data.
Applications
Solar and battery mounting rails, enclosure and electronics housings, LED and lighting profiles, framing and conveyor systems, marine and architectural sections — supplied machined, finished, kitted and on schedule to export customers.

Six questions for any extrusion supplier
Use them on us too:
| Who reviews extrudability? | A named engineer should respond on wall balance and tongue ratios before quoting |
| How is anodise consistency held? | Master samples and correlation checks — ask to see the procedure |
| Who tracks die wear? | Dies are consumables; replacement should be planned, not discovered |
| What arrives with parts? | Profile measurements, alloy certs and finish reports — every batch |
| Who owns the die? | You should, in writing |
| What if demand moves? | Buffer stock and call-off terms should flex without drama |
What to send us for a fast, accurate quote
The more of this you can share, the quicker we can return a proposed program plan and price:
- Profile/part drawings (DXF/STEP) or samples
- Annual volumes and call-off pattern
- Finish standard and colour-consistency expectations
- Machining and assembly operations required
- Current supply problems you want gone
