Elke: “Niels and his team know our extrusion process like the back of their hand. Because our team is compact, they know exactly who to contact for technical questions.” Niels: “BOAL’s extrusion experts always take the time to critically review the design. They ask the right questions and carefully discuss all wishes and requirements. This can lead to a simplification or refinement of the design, to the client’s advantage.” <\/p>\n
Elke: “Only when we’re sure everything is correct do we have a mold made. During an initial test pressing, we want to get as close as possible to the desired end result. We can make any adjustments in-house, which saves time and money.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Aluminum, a sustainable alternative<\/h4>\n
Designing a high-quality profile isn’t something that happens overnight. “Sometimes we spend weeks or even months working on the first test pressing,” explains Huib Brinkman (Head of Drawing Office). “For the client, it’s helpful that Fabrique Invent guides the process and acts as a reliable intermediary for us. This way, we keep things moving, and the client can continue to focus on other projects. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.” <\/p>\n
BOAL Extrusion specializes in aluminum extrusion in 6000 series alloys, including 6060 and 6063\u2014widely used in Fabrique Invent’s designs. “Aluminum is a fantastic alternative to stainless steel or steel,” says Niels. “It’s being used increasingly in various sectors. It’s light, strong, corrosion-resistant, and infinitely recyclable. Compared to steel or stainless steel, it offers greater design freedom and a smaller ecological footprint.” <\/p>\n

Extrusion die cuts<\/h6>\n
<\/p>\n
With the increasing focus on CO\u2082 reduction, this footprint is becoming increasingly important in projects. BOAL is responding to this with its BLUE line: aluminum profiles produced from billets made with 100% renewable energy and\/or recycled content. This marks a step forward together, seamlessly connecting Fabrique Invent and BOAL to their clients’ sustainability ambitions. <\/p>\n
Niels: “A good example? Suppose a company wants a lightweight, modular frame for a transport system. We at Fabrique Invent translate the functional requirements into a smart, sustainable design in aluminum. BOAL assesses the extrusion feasibility and produces the profile within the client’s sustainability framework. Within a few months, a scalable, sustainable product is ready for the market.” <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Moving forward together<\/h4>\n
The partnership between Fabrique Invent and BOAL Extrusion is built on experience, trust, technical acumen, and shared sustainability ambitions. Both parties intend to continue joining forces in the future for clients who need assistance developing custom aluminum profiles. Whether it’s an initial idea, a design that hasn’t yet been extrusion-tested, or a sustainability challenge: Fabrique Invent and BOAL will collaborate, design, and implement a solution that works for you. <\/p>\n
