At extrutec group, our commitment doesn't end with commissioning. We support our customers throughout the entire lifetime of their equipment – whether it's maintenance, repairs, retrofits, spare parts, technical support, or performance improvements.

One example is our Head Burner Repair & Overhaul service for gas-fired furnaces. Instead of replacing worn burners, we restore them to an as-new condition by refurbishing or replacing all functionally critical components. The result is extended service life, maximum reliability, and reduced downtime.

And that's just one example of our comprehensive Aftersales portfolio.

Supporting our customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their equipment is a key part of our approach – from commissioning and maintenance to repairs, retrofits, and modernization.

With our Alpha Flex Technology, we enable a new level of adaptability in profile cooling. Especially when dealing with complex, sensitive, or highly customized aluminum profiles, precise and flexible cooling is essential to ensure consistent quality, dimensional accuracy, and optimal mechanical properties.

A great example is our collaboration with Aluminium-Laufen AG Liesberg .

The challenge: due to the puller configuration of the press, the profile cooling system had to be designed not only for vertical adjustment, but also with lateral pivoting capability. At the same time, extremely limited space conditions required a compact and carefully engineered solution – both in terms of system layout and installation.

The system scope included the profile cooling installation together with water treatment unit. Due to the tight integration into the existing press environment and limited installation space, the project was executed within a shutdown window a very short downtime period — from the start of dismantling to production restart.

Once again this year, extrutec GmbH was represented at the Mechanical Engineering Open House at HTWG Konstanz—and once again, it became clear just how valuable direct interaction with dedicated young professionals is.
Our booth attracted numerous interested students, graduates, and future professionals. Through many engaging conversations, we were able to provide insights into our projects and technologies while also learning more about the perspectives and expectations of the next generation of engineers.
As an internationally active technology provider for the aluminum extrusion industry, extrutec stands for innovative solutions, the highest quality standards, and comprehensive plant systems—from planning to integration into existing processes.
This is precisely why it is crucial for us to invest in young talent early on. Engaging with students opens up new perspectives, brings fresh ideas into the company, and lays the foundation for long-term collaboration. For us, one thing is clear: innovation arises not only from technology, but above all from the people who shape it.

A big thank you to HTWG Konstanz for the excellent organization and the opportunity to once again be part of this successful event. We look forward to continuing our discussions—and perhaps seeing some of these promising talents at extrutec again soon. 🤝

A strong after-sales team thinks ahead with customers' interests in mind

extrutec views service as a holistic approach: staying attuned to customer needs and committed to providing solutions early on when conditions change.

An example from after-sales:
The “Wiedemann mixers” used worldwide are no longer available from the original supplier. To ensure that existing systems can continue to operate reliably, extrutec offers a suitable solution:
All gas-air mixers installed to date can be replaced with a proven extrutec successor product.

✅ Compatible with existing systems
✅ Suitable for all other manufacturers' products
✅ Proven in use
✅ Standard solution also for new systems

On Wednesday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Jürgen Wahl from Unicut to our extrutec site in Moos. 🤝

The exchange was extremely valuable and provided in-depth technical insights into Extrulube – from development and optimal nozzle alignment to process optimization for aluminum and steel applications. ⚙️

Particularly exciting: Extrulube has been specifically developed for our hot and cold saws. Thanks to the optimized interaction between lubricant, nozzle geometry, and compressed air, it enables a reduction in lubricant consumption of up to 50% compared to conventional market products. 📉At the same time, Extrulube is based on 80–85% sustainable raw materials, reducing not only consumption but also emissions.

Together, we were able to further deepen our technical process understanding, identify new optimization potential, and evaluate additional fields of application. 🚀

The new extrutec year began with visits to extrutec's subsidiary IPS.

Shortly before the end of the year, Induction Professional was acquired by extrutec and will continue to operate under a new name at its previous production site in Youngstown, Ohio. IPS will strengthen extrutec's service activities in the USA and continue to serve its US-wide customer base with repairs and services related to induction technology. During extrutec founder Uwe Günter's New Year visit, the agenda included activities with the IPS team, customer visits, and discussions with the local business association “Lake to River.”

Last week, the extrutec Group enjoyed an exciting program full of team spirit and inspiring insights!

On Thursday, we spent a relaxed evening at the Hirschen Horn hut, enjoying great food and good company. 🍽️🏔️

Friday was dedicated to exchange and hands-on experience: we visited one of our customers to inspect the machinery on-site and gain valuable insights into their operations. 🏭

The week concluded with an internal tour in Moos, where we explored the new Technikum building as well as the renovated Forum facility, followed by another enjoyable evening with the team. 🏢✨

A big thank you to all colleagues for the wonderful atmosphere and inspiring impressions – moments like these strengthen our team spirit and make our work even more rewarding!
