The extruding company began operations in October 1999 with two presses and an anodizing area. It exported 10% of its production and allocated 90% to the domestic market.Today, the percentages are reversed:90% of the production is sent to the US and Canada, and the remaining 10% serves the domestic market, provides work to 1,000 people and extrudes around 4 million pounds of aluminum per month.

Its installed capacity is formed by an extrusion plant that houses the latest technology in presses, two automated anodizing plant, a distribution center, a cellar, a packing plant, a machining area and a machining area and two floors dedicated to powder coating process, one of them being a vertical dust-paint facility which operates at the highest level of international technology and that is certified with the Qualicoatseal. Another element that has recently been integrated to the engineering area is a 3D printer to make prototypes, usually in complex shapes. The printer validates the new aluminum extrusions out of its numerous projects in order to test and improve the functionality of some parts.

The corporate philosophy of ABC Aluminum Solutions is based on flexibility, closeness and commitment to the goals of their clients. Face to face with the global industry leaders, the Baja Californian company excels in offering custom made solutions. This extraordinary ability to handle services according to the needs of itscustomersenables the company to work for global firms in the electronics, automotive, renewable energy and new technologies sectors; it also enables itto participate in architectural projects in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and New York.

According to Moises Guzman, the company's CEO, ABC Aluminum Solutions has grown between 20 and 25% in the past three years, and thus, an annual growth of 16% is expected for the next five years. "If we weren'tkeeping a competitive attitude towards delivery times, price, quality and flexibility, we wouldn't be experiencing such growth," he says.

The certificates that have boosted its growth are ISO 9001: 2008, and Qualicoat, an European agency that guarantees high control standards in powder coating for aluminum profiles. Additionally, the company works to achieve certification for the automotive industry –that is, ISO/TS 16949-,the AMA 2604 and 2605 American certification, granted for powder coating processes; In addition, the Clean Industry Certification granted by the Federal Prosecutors for Environmental Protection (PROFEPA for its acronym in Spanish) is in process; as well as to adhere to the New Plan for Certified Companies (NEEC for its acronym in Spanish) in Mexico and to the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) in the United States, being that they are seeking to strengthen the supply chain security.

ABC Aluminum Solutions is governed by the rules of the Aluminum Association (AA). In the Curtain Wall division it gets to manage projects that ask for a margin of up to 50% of the commercial tolerance, "which is not a problem because our processes and quality controls are solid, and has led us to take projects not every extruder would be able to take", said Edgar Lopez, manager of the Engineering department.

"In regards to the introduction of new processes, management is always open to invest and to give the solution to the customer, here, at the plant. To provide customers with solutions is one of our staples. Many times, companies have to send the extruding process to one location, and the manufacturing process to another one and the die-making process to completely different one.There is a lack of companies that provide an integral solution", he adds.

In addition to this, ABC Aluminum Solutions receives regular auditors from a global leader in testing, inspection and certification, which helps customers to ensure that their suppliers meet the growing safety, environmental protection and social responsibility challenges....
