  • Profall's added value on complex profiles
  • The partnership with RC Ramera
  • Customization: the custom aluminum profile

 

Standard aluminum profiles

This category includes profiles with simple shapes: bars, tubing, semicircular elements, angles, single or double duct profiles, U, Z, H, and C profiles. Dimensional tolerances are generally +/- 0.15 mm.

These profiles are used across several industrial sectors:

  • transport, for bodywork, glazing, and interiors
  • lighting, particularly for LED lighting
  • electronics, for heat sinks and profiles for photovoltaic panels and inverters
  • electromechanical, for manufacturing current transformers
  • automotive, for heat exchangers, radiators, tubes, and fittings

 

Special aluminum profiles

90% of Profall's production is dedicated to special profiles. It's a figure that speaks to our specialization: responding with precision to the most complex technical requests.

This category includes extrusions with more elaborate designs and advanced technical features: trim profiles, picture frames, handrails and handles, curve profiles, window and door profiles, drainers and water deflectors.

The main sectors are:

  • furnishings, for furniture, walls, flooring, and contract projects
  • technical furnishings, for display cases, magnetic whiteboards, shelving, and racking
  • automotive, for trim profiles designed for vehicles

 

Need a custom aluminum profile? With the Profall configurator, you can define your project quickly and easily, specifying shape, size, quantity, and required features. Our technical team will assess feasibility and guide you toward the best solution.

 

 

Profall's added value on complex profiles

Designing a complex profile takes more than a good extrusion press. It takes experience.

Our technical department reviews every request together with the client, assesses the feasibility of the design, and identifies the most effective solutions right from the design stage. This collaborative approach allows us to handle out-of-standard sections, tight tolerances, and intricate geometries without compromising the quality of the finished product.

The know-how of our staff, built up over years of working with aluminum, allows us to manufacture profiles that not everyone is able to produce: from small batches to large-scale production, with the same attention to detail.

We don't just execute a finished drawing. We study the project, evaluate every aspect of it, and propose the most suitable technical solutions, including from the standpoint of material sustainability.

 

The partnership with RC Ramera

To expand the processing options for our profiles, Profall partners with RC Ramera, a company specialized in high-precision mechanical processing of aluminum.

Thanks to this partnership, we can offer directly on our extruded profiles:

  • aluminum cutting, with extremely tight tolerances
  • die-cutting, using state-of-the-art software
  • surface treatment, with brushing techniques to achieve the desired color, hardness, and shine
  • custom packaging, including logos and identification codes

This collaboration lets us offer a complete service, from manufacturing the profile to surface finishing, without having to involve outside suppliers.

 

Customization: the custom aluminum profile

We pay special attention to customizing and prototyping the profiles requested by individual clients. Our team follows a defined five-step process:

  1. Feasibility study and pre-design consultation
  2. Design of the requested profile
  3. Prototyping
  4. Series production
  5. Delivery, generally within two working weeks

From initial study to series production, Profall is dedicated to fully meeting the needs of its clients.
