GENERAL

Whilst the press is of older design, it is in excellent working condition and has primarily been used for the extrusion of high quality profiles mainly for the aerospace and automobile industries in a range of alloys including 5xxx and 6xxx series.

It is perfectly capable of being put back into production without modification however, upgrading to a more modern concept would be of benefit in the medium term.

Available for dismantling and removal
