Precision extrusion
With dimensional tolerances as low as ± 0.02 mm, we go beyond the norm for complex aluminium and magnesium extrusion profiles.
Machining
In a modern machine park with more than 30 CNC machines, we perform all machining operations on aluminium and magnesium components.
High volume production for the medical market
At Mifa, we can start extruding from as little as 10 kg, making is suitable for both prototypes and small production runs. However, we are also capable of large-scale production by setting up complete production lines, including post-processing such as CNC machining, surface treatments, and assembly.
As a medical component manufacturer, Mifa also offers fully automated solutions for high-volume production through the use of robots and designated cells. An automated cell combines precision, speed, and reliability. Robots work alongside advances machines, resulting in a streamlined and stable production process. This not only enhances efficiency but also ensures consistent quality standards.
The benefits of fully established production lines include a fast development and testing phase, cost savings, design improvements, and process optimisation.
Precision extrusion for design freedom
Our advanced precision technology and precise dimensional tolerances offer design freedom – making it ideal for medical precision components where attention to detail and quality take center stage.

Sustainable lightweight profiles for medical precision components
Beyond design flexibility, our lightweight, thin-walled profiles offer significant advantages. They contribute to lower fuel consumption during transport and optimised material usage in production, enhancing cost efficiency while promoting sustainability. In facts, these profiles can achieve material savings of up to 33%.
In the medical industry, thin-walled profiles are particularly valuable for manufacturing precision components such as surgical instruments and diagnostic equipment. Their lightweight nature and high accuracy ensure superior performance, while their efficient material usage supports cost-effectiveness and sustainability in medical device production.
Calculate the CO2 emissions of your extrusion profile
With the current sustainable developments in various markets – as well as the medical market – the calculation of CO2 emissions is becoming more important. Working closely with our engineers, we have created a specialised tool for the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of our aluminium extrusion profiles. This tool calculates the CO2 emissions and illustrates the effect of co-engineering in diminishing the CO2 footprint – by for example creating thin-walled profiles.
