Founded in 2004, ALEX (Aluminium Extruders Association) was established by a group of dedicated individuals from various sectors, including industries, defense establishments, and research organizations.

The Aluminium Extruders' Council (Alex) is pleased to announce the conference on "Aluminium in Shipbuilding" on 14th-15th November'24. Traditionally, a major share of aluminium extrusions is consumed by the building construction sector.

In the last few years, there have been a lot of innovations in manufacturing technologies to suit emerging new applications for aluminium extrusions: automotive, defence, shipbuilding, metro rails, freight wagons, renewable power, and EVs are some of them. This conference, therefore, will be focusing on new applications and challenges for aluminium extrusion and related industries.
