The Custom Extruded Enclosure is a named product of this range — aluminum profile housings that slide, stack and close the way extruded enclosures should.

An extruded enclosure exploits exactly what extrusion does best: a constant, often intricate cross-section — with card guides, screw bosses and fin features built into the profile — produced continuously and cut to the length your equipment needs. One profile die yields a family of enclosure lengths, which is why extruded housings dominate electronics and instrument equipment. The range names the product directly: Custom Extruded Enclosure.
End plates, panels and mounting features complete the housing, and those live in the sister divisions: machined or stamped covers, injection-moulded plastic caps and end pieces (the injection range includes plastic enclosures by name). An enclosure project here can therefore be quoted as a complete housing set, not a profile plus homework.
This factory can house your product three ways, and the review compares them without a sales agenda: extruded aluminum for profile-based metal housings with thermal and shielding virtues; sheet metal fabrication in AL6061/6063 for larger or lower-volume housings; ABS plastic enclosures from the injection range for insulated, lightweight or cost-driven designs. Each is a named product family in this plant, so the comparison is between real production routes, priced on your drawings and quantities.
The deciding factors are usually volume, size, thermal duty and finish. Bring the equipment dimensions and the environment it must survive; the review returns a recommendation with the reasoning visible.
Send the internal dimensions or the board/equipment footprint, target external size, length range, finish (anodized colour where relevant), and what closes the ends — plates, plastic caps, or a mating heatsink profile. Quantities for trial and production complete the brief. With no fixed MOQ, a short trial run of housings for fit-checking is a normal first step.
Extrusion programmes stay healthy on two habits. First, treat the section as a contract: once the profile die is proven, changes to the section are tooling events, so the time to argue about a fin, a wall or a channel is at section review, with the die designer in the conversation. Second, plan lengths and downstream machining as one schedule — cut lengths, hole patterns and anodizing batches interact, and programmes that schedule them together waste less metal and less time than programmes that order each step in isolation.
Buyers transferring an existing profile should say so at enquiry. A profile with an existing die, a profile needing a new die, and a profile being re-specified from a sample length are three different projects with three different first steps, and the review will name which one you have before quoting anything.
Tell us the material grade, quantity and finish you need for your extruded aluminum enclosures. Our engineers review every drawing for die casting, machining or stamping feasibility before quoting — no obligation.
