Industrial Manufacturing
Industrial fabricators and engineering shops work to tight tolerances, demanding production schedules, and customers who notice when quality slips. The aluminium they specify needs to arrive on time, in the right sections and finishes, and to a standard that holds up through the full production process without introducing rework or delays downstream.
Astro Group has been supplying general industrial fabricators and engineering shops since 1998, across a diverse range of applications from mining equipment and signage through to lighting, air diffusion products, and commercial fabrication. We offer the full aluminium value chain under one roof: sourcing and supply, fabrication, surface preparation, anodising, and powder coating.
Our Turnkey Approach
We supply an extensive range of extruded and rolled aluminium products to industrial fabricators and engineering shops, including standard sections and purpose-specific profiles in mill finish or surface-finished form.
We fabricate aluminium to customer specification. We also offer custom 3D component design and development using the versatile SOLIDWORKS® package, supporting customers who need design input before production begins.
for industrial applications where component appearance, corrosion resistance, and surface hardness are critical, anodising provides a durable, consistent finish that outperforms paint across most performance measures.
We provide powder coating services for aluminium and steel components and extrusions up to 4m in length, with a wide range of standard colours for internal and external applications.
We offer in-house surface preparation for small components prior to anodising or powder coating, including bead blasting, soda or vapour blasting, and tumbling.
Why Aluminium in Industrial Manufacturing?
Aluminium is one of the most versatile and widely used metals in industrial manufacturing, specified across a broad range of applications for a combination of properties that few other materials match.
Corrosion resistance
Aluminium’s natural oxide layer provides inherent protection against corrosion, making it well suited to industrial environments where components are exposed to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor conditions. This resistance is significantly enhanced by anodising or powder coating.
Machinability
Aluminium is easier to cut, drill, bend, and shape than most other structural metals, reducing machining time and tooling wear in high-volume production environments.
Consistent extrusion profiles
Aluminium extrusions can be produced to precise, repeatable cross-sections, making them well suited to industrial applications where dimensional consistency across large production runs is a requirement rather than a preference.
Surface finish options
Anodised and powder-coated aluminium is available in a wide range of colours and finishes, giving industrial manufacturers the flexibility to meet both functional and aesthetic requirements within a single material and finishing process.
Applications We Serve
Standard and purpose-specific aluminium sections for a wide range of commercial and industrial fabrication applications, supplied in mill finish or surface finished to customer requirements.
Extruded aluminium sections and fabricated components for signage frames, display systems, and graphic media applications, anodised or powder coated to specification.
Aluminium extrusions and fabricated components for lighting housings, diffuser frames, and air distribution products, where precise profile dimensions and consistent surface finishes are critical to product performance and appearance.
Rolled and extruded aluminium products for general engineering applications, including sheet, tread plate, bar, tube, angle, channel, and flat bar, alongside fabrication and finishing services for customers who need more than raw material.
Featured Service
Laser Welding
Our laser welding service is well suited to components where appearance and dimensional accuracy are important, and where conventional welding would introduce too much heat or require significant post-weld finishing.
Why Astro Group for Industrial Manufacturing?
Industrial fabricators and engineering shops need more than a supplier who can deliver standard sections on time. They need a partner who can step in when a project requires a purpose-specific profile, when a component needs to be fabricated to a tight tolerance, or when a surface finish needs to match across a long production run without variation between batches.
A project that starts with a supply enquiry can move through fabrication, surface preparation, and finishing without leaving our facility, keeping quality consistent and eliminating the handoff risks that come with coordinating multiple suppliers across a production schedule.
SOLIDWORKS® 3D Design and Development
Designing in SOLIDWORKS® before production allows us to identify potential issues early, optimise designs, and produce detailed manufacturing drawings directly from the 3D model.
