The global medical market will continue to grow significantly in size and investments. Staying ahead of the competition is vital. Time to market, total costs, innovation, sustainability and premium quality are essential for an excellent performance in this very demanding market. That's why medical OEM's worldwide strategically rely on MIFA precision extruded products.
Smart design without concessions
MIFA's core businesses are co-engineering and precision extrusion of custom profiles in aluminium and magnesium alloys. Our high-tech precision extrusion technology offers unprecedented design freedom that cannot be achieved in other manufacturing techniques. We open up a whole new universe of creative ideas & smart solutions to designers and mechanical engineers. Together we search for the optimal balance between functionality and manufacturability in your design. You are always assured of the best or even a better functional product design at the lowest total cost. Moreover, we can process your profile in-house into a fully finished precision component, including assembly and surface treatments.
Our strengths are your benefits!
Multiple functions in 1 shape
Our precision extrusion technology enables the integration of multiple functions in one all-encompassing smart profile shape with an unprecedented high level of accuracy. This boosts yield and efficiency of your design and offers one-of-a-kind solutions for example: positioning & guiding rails, heating & cooling modules, housings for pneumatics & electronics and LED lighting, connecting & joining, weight saving, telescopic columns, fixtures, frame parts, handlebars.
Challenge us with early-stage involvement!

Precision extrusion tolerances (from ±0,02 mm)
The standard tolerances on dimensions for extrusion profiles, depending on the chosen alloy and required level of precision, can be found in norms EN755-9 and EN12020-2. Here you will find minimum tolerances starting from respectively ± 0,4 mm and ± 0,2 mm. For precision applications, this level of accuracy is certainly not sufficient and additional machining operations are required.
MIFA is able to extrude ten times more accurately than the standard norms. We enable tolerances from ± 0.02 mm directly in the extrusion process. Additional and costly machining operations can be reduced to an absolute minimum or even to zero. Fitting dimensions such as h10 or H10 are also possible directly in your extruded profile.
Unparalleled precision!
