Our experienced team are proficient problem solvers, so we can help overcome many design issues.
Once a project is underway, you’ll have a dedicated single point of contact in our Aylesbury office to keep the communication trail clear. After a profile design is agreed upon we move into the procurement stage. Salesmade will procure the extrusion die followed by samples, if required, then onto purchasing of bulk material purchasing. Once the extrusions arrive and located safely into our 8000sq ft storage unit, we can move into the prototyping and product approval stage, working with our clients to ensure critical details and dimensions are maintained, quality standards achieved and price levels are met.
Sustainable Production
Aluminium is a sustainable product renowned for its ability to be recycled. The vast majority of commercial aluminium waste is collected and reused, time and again, without compromising its strength or aesthetic qualities, approximately 75% of all aluminium manufactured to date is still in circulation in 1 form or another.
The powder coating finish that we apply to many aluminium parts is solvent-free, far safer than wet spraying and giving a more durable finish, suitable for both architectural requirements & automotive products alike.
Our dedicated powder coating facility collects, recycles and reuses water. Our investment in this system has cut our water usage by approximately 54% in the last 5 years, saving around 4000m³ per year.
Not only have we taken action to recycle aluminium. Over 14,000Kg (approximately 94%) of all waste products including cardboard, timber, plastic and paper have been recycled by Salesmade in the last 12 months (up to May 2021) crucially avoiding landfill.
