Specialty Vehicle Custom Metal Aluminum Trim Extrusions

Eagle is one of the few remaining small extrusion manufacturers able to supply, finish and inventory the small, intricate, and highly finished trims that the marketplace requires on specialty vehicles. The trend among aluminum extruders is to focus on larger extrusions, larger volumes, and bigger/faster presses that can push more feet and more pounds of aluminum per hour. Small and intricate trim extrusions for specialty vehicles do not fit this mold. Smaller shapes and forms must run at slower speeds, and that goes against the large-volume production model.

It’s typical for a major aluminum extrusion supplier to carry all the larger standard shapes used for a particular industry or customer segment, but usually only in minimum quantities. Eagle can fill large orders for many small standard and specialty extrusions – or even a custom extrusion in one of our stocking programs. We have one of the largest inventories and selections of specialty and custom aluminum extrusions found anywhere.

We are confident that Eagle Aluminum is different than other extrusion suppliers when it comes to the amount, selection and depth of inventory we carry. We specialize in designing, manufacturing, and stocking highly finished, low- volume, custom, hard-to-find, and standard aluminum extrusions.

Specialty vehicle manufacturers have a place to call for aluminum extrusions that have been created specifically for their industry. Eagle can deliver custom aluminum trims and extrusions with the same speed, high-quality service, and competitive pricing you are accustomed to when buying stock or standard aluminum extrusion shapes. Most aluminum extrusion supply companies focus on pushing large volume and pounds of aluminum. They like to say they handle custom extrusions, but they prefer to sell from catalogs or what is stocked in inventory. On any given day, you’ll find Eagle Aluminum filling custom aluminum extrusion orders.

Extrusion supply companies often don’t want to work with a small-volume or small-weight custom aluminum extrusion order. That is because the project or product typically requires special cut lengths, machining, fabrication and custom colors or finishes. Most extruders are focused on large, standard industrial applications instead of small, intricate specialty vehicle trims. They cannot drop down to small quantities and still create the project. Eagle Aluminum is set up to create custom extrusions for any order size. Eagle will fill an order for one piece, or 1,000 pieces. We run volume for our own inventory, so you do not have to take on volume. We are able to pass on our savings to our customers. We welcome and service each customer regardless of order value or volume.

Yes, we can provide almost any custom color or finish for your aluminum trims and extrusions. Custom finishes for specialty vehicle applications typically include Satin, Brite-dip, Polishes, Bronze, Black, and Brushed. At Eagle Aluminum we are not just experts in aluminum extrusions, we also specialize in finishes like Anodizing, Powder Coating, Mechanical finishes and Chemical Washes. In particular, this includes advising buyers on techniques that can create the desired highly-finishes look at a lower cost. For example; Polishing, a mechanical finish, is extremely expensive. Brite-dip anodizing provides a similar shiny finish the designer envisions but can be done at a fraction of the cost, which reduces the total finishing cost significantly.

The aesthetic quality of custom-finished aluminum is critical for trims used on an ambulance, fire truck, or any specialty vehicle. We ship one piece, or by the skid-load of material, all over the country each day. The packaging we use to ship is as important as the extrusion itself. Our job isn’t done until that custom finished aluminum extrusion is properly packaged for protection. Manufacturers often contact Eagle for the first time because product from a regular vendor has arrived, too many times, in damaged condition. Eagle’s customers have come to expect our product will arrive in production-ready condition every time.
