Global aluminium extrusion leaders 2025: Top producers with their output capacity and expansion plans
Aluminium extrusion begins with a heated billet pushed through a precision steel die under intense pressure. What comes out can be something as simple as a rod or tube - or as complex as a structural component for an aircraft or a crash-management system in a vehicle. Its appeal lies in a rare mix of strength, light weight and design freedom, which is why extrusion continues to sit at the centre of modern manufacturing. Across Europe, North America, India and the Gulf, extrusion players are adjusting capacity, investing in downstream capabilities and fine-tuning operations to stay aligned with demand that is increasingly specialised rather than purely volume-driven. The top extrusions companies are listed below:
Hydro Extrusions
Hydro Extrusions is one of the industry’s largest players by scale. To respond to continued market weakness, the company plans a major European restructuring by 2026, which includes closing five plants and reducing around 730 roles. The initiative is expected to generate annual savings of more than NOK 500 million. Once completed, Hydro will operate 28 extrusion plants and five recycling facilities across Europe.
