Aluproject's Services
Aluproject proposes itself as single interlocutor for its Customers. We take care of all the production phases, from the analysis of the client's commercial needs up to the shipment of the finished product (including design, industrialization, prototyping, manual and automated mechanical processing, quality control and packaging). We carry out production activities with high vertical integration, thanks to the support of the Agnelli Group's subsidiaries: Alugreen, Trafileria Alluminio Alexia and Alucolor.
01
Customer Needs Analysis
We analyze the production, stylistic and material needs of our customers to define the most effective and efficient production, packaging and shipping choices.
The objectives of the preliminary analysis phase are:
- Identify the most appropriate technical solutions
- Minimize total design, manufacturing and logistics costs
- Define a quality control and delivery plan
02
Design and Prototyping
Our technical office, thanks to the support of MOST ADVANCED THREE-DIMENSIONAL DRAWING PROGRAMS, quickly develops complex systems and products with high precision (drawings, prototypes and tests according to applicable international standards).
In particular, we use the following design software:
- SOLID WORKS PROFESSIONAL 2019 + SIMULATION (Possibility to perform static load simulations on assemblies, fatigue study and topological study)
- CAD CAM CNC PROGRAMMING INTERFACE WITH PUMA CAMALEON SOFTWARE FOR INTERPOLATION PROCESSING (5-axis Emmegi machining centres)
- EMMEGI CAM PLUS SOFTWARE + DRIVER CAD
- MECAL CAD LINK SOFTWARE
03
Industrialization and Raw Material Purchases
Industrialization:
In the industrialization phase, we deal with:
- carry out the study of the matrices for the production of extrusions
- optimize the work cycles and the settings of the automatic machines dedicated to the various processes
- define the product quality control plan
with the objectives of reducing production costs and minimizing the total-throughput-time of the process.
The superior industrialization skills of Aluproject's technical team are the basis of the company's competitiveness, especially in the case of mass production.
Raw Material Purchases:
We source the raw material from our Italian subsidiaries Alugreen and Trafileria Alluminio Alexia:
- Alugreen is the foundry that produces aluminum billets using recycled aluminum up to 80%
- Alexia is the extruder that transforms the billets into an almost perfect semi-finished product. Four modern presses of 1800, 2200, 3000 and 4500 tons guarantee a wide range and production capacity.
- The high variety of alloys available allows us to satisfy the requests of any production area.
Belonging to a solid group specialized in the production and transformation of aluminum allows us to:
- supply the raw material at competitive prices
- guarantee continuity of supply in every market situation
- maintain quality standards over time
- respond quickly to every need of our customers
04
Mechanical Machining
Our core business is mechanical processing of aluminum extrusions.
Thanks to a large and complete fleet of machines, we are able to carry out all the transformation processes of an extruded product to provide a customized finished product.
The typical sequence of processes includes:
- Cutting and shearing
- Mechanical machining with 3 and 5 axis CNC machines (milling, threading, drilling)
- Bending with numerically controlled machines (calendering, folding, cambering, stretch bending)
- Robotic MIG welding
By carrying out all phases of the manufacturing cycle in Aluproject, we are able to qualitatively control the process and guarantee rapid response times for both small series and large productions.
05

Assembly, Quality Control, Packaging and Shipping
Assembly
Our know-how, our history, the experience of our collaborators gained over the years, allows us to carry out the assembly of details of any complexity. We use multiple fixing systems to assemble profiles and extrusions into finished products, such as:
• Special structural or double-adhesive glues
• Insertion of pins, threaded bushes, helicoils
• Welding of aluminum projection studs
• Use of expansion systems for the assembly of tubulars without the use of visible screws
• design and creation of dedicated matrices for coupling individual pieces.
Quality check
All pieces are checked both dimensionally and aesthetically by our operators, coordinated by the Quality Manager
The Quality system, thanks to the high integration in the companies of the Agnelli group, is guaranteed both for the activities carried out in Aluproject and for the activities carried out in the subsidiaries of the Agnelli Group.
CUSTOMIZED PACKAGING SOLUTIONS
Our experience allows us to study tailor-made solutions to satisfy the protective and handling needs for all types of products:
Solutions for internal packaging with dedicated shapes in various materials:
• Cardboard
• Corrugated cardboard
• Polyethylene
• Foam rubber
• Shock-absorbing profiles
External shipping solutions:
• Packaging in customized crate (fumigated if required)
• Cardboard packaging
• Industrial packaging with boxes
• Complete and customized packaging to customer specifications
• Product handling trolleys (to reduce packaging and increase company sustainability, we have developed a system of returnable trolleys that we interchange with our customers)
We are able to deliver the products both by relying on our own vehicles (2 tractor units available for national deliveries) and by relying on couriers/shippers for international deliveries.
Contact us without obligation to evaluate your idea. We will make one of our technicians available to you as soon as possible!
Products from aluminum profiles and extrusions for the residential furnishing sector (living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, SPA and wellness areas), community and public space furnishing (theatres, schools, universities, hospitals, courthouses), lighting (indoor and outdoor), industry (medical, automotive, railway, aviation)
