One-stop-shop aluminium extruder: from product design to fully integrated product
2. In-house die solutions
Having an in-house die-correction team is a valuable and unique asset, as it supports vertical integration and removes the need for outsourcing. Die-correction is a process that ensures high precision and quality in every profile. Through meticulous adjustments and refined techniques, dies are optimally calibrated to consistently deliver the desired shape and specifications. This craftsmanship forms the foundation of products with unwavering reliability and durability.
5. Aluminium surface treatments - for every profile
Aluminium is a versatile high-tech material that offers various possibilities for manufacturing high-quality profiles. Despite its many advantages, aluminium can be sensitive to properties like corrosion, wear, poor thermal conductivity, or increased friction.
To address these challenges, the right surface treatment is crucial. At Mifa, we offer a variety of solutions to optimise the performance of aluminium profiles. Mifa provides three types of surface treatments:
We offer these surface treatments for Mifa profiles and for your own aluminium profiles.
6. The finishing touch of your product: special techniques at Mifa
Along with machining, surface treatments, and special techniques, we ensure that we deliver the most optimal product. This also means fewer logistical operations are required, which improves the quality of the final product and is cost-effective. We offer the following special techniques, in-house:
- Magnesium technology
- Assembly
- Belt grinding
- Adhesive bonding
- Welding
- Marking, engraving, and laser processing
- Bending
7. Process & product control
Mifa offers consistent quality at every step of the production process – eessential when working with the tight tolerances required in demanding markets such as aerospace, medical, and mobility.. Through strict process and product control, we emphasise our commitment to cosmetic perfect and traceability troughout our production workflow. With our AS9100 certification, Mifa confirms that its production and business systems meet the stringent quality standards of demanding industries. For example, we carry out the following inspections:
- Dimensional inspection

- Mechanical tests, including of hardness and yield strength
- CMM measurements
- Fluorescent penetrant inspection
- X-ray
- Salt spray tests
8. Custom packaging
Our packaging department specialises in both short- and long-length packaging. We also offer custom solutions to ensure that every customer’s valuable profiles are fully protected.
Vertical integration in practice: a complete product for Rapid Shape
Mifa Aluminium partnered with Rapid Shape, a 3D printer manufacturer, to develop an aluminium profile that functions both as a hook and as a printing surface. Through early co-engineering between Rapid Shape and Mifa’s engineers, precision extrusion technology was introduced and two optimized profiles were developed. Extensive testing ensured the surface both adhered well to the 3D printing solution and allowed easy release.
Throughout the project, Mifa handled the entire development process in-house—from design support and precision extrusion to surface treatments, laser engraving, CNC machining, and prototype series production. This fully vertically integrated approach enabled rapid testing, flexible production volumes, and the delivery of highly accurate profiles that will ultimately be assembled into Rapid Shape’s final product.
