Pillars
Sustainability at CANEX is structured around three core commitments that run through every process, every product, and every partnership.
Resource Efficiency
We upcycle 100% of our extrusion scrap into premium die cast alloys. Raw materials are sourced, consumed, and recirculated in a closed loop within our own facility.
Decarbonization
LED lighting across the facility (80–90% energy efficiency), a solar power station on-site, and energy-efficient billet heating furnaces reduce our carbon footprint at every stage.
Health & Safety
ISO 45001:2018 certified. A structured health and safety management system protects our workforce and ensures a safe, compliant production environment at all times.
At CANEX, the scrap generated during aluminum extrusion does not go to waste — it goes back into production. Our extrusion offcuts and trim pieces are collected, melted down with precision temperature control (±5 °C), and cast into premium die casting alloys for our GC and LPDC processes.
This closed-loop upcycling model eliminates primary scrap costs, reduces energy consumption versus virgin aluminum processing, and allows us to offer die cast products with a fully traceable, sustainable material origin.

Environmental
Footprint
CANEX has invested in energy-efficient infrastructure across the entire facility to reduce energy consumption and emissions.
LED Lighting
Full LED lighting installed throughout the factory — 80–90% more energy efficient than conventional industrial lighting, reducing electricity consumption significantly across our 32,000 m² facility.
Solar Power Station
On-site solar power generation reduces grid dependency and lowers our direct carbon emissions. Our solar installation contributes to powering production operations year-round.
Energy-Efficient Furnaces
Our billet heating furnaces use energy-efficient designs that minimize heat loss and reduce fuel consumption per ton of aluminum processed compared to conventional furnace technology.
Wastewater Treatment
Dedicated on-site wastewater treatment systems ensure that process water from our powder coating pretreatment line is treated before discharge — meeting or exceeding environmental standards.
Coating
Pretreatment
Our 9-stage powder coating pretreatment tunnel operates entirely without chrome compounds. Chrome-free pretreatment eliminates hexavalent chromium from the production process — protecting waterways and complying with the most stringent EU REACH environmental directives.
This means our coated products carry no hazardous substance concerns for your customers, simplifying RoHS and REACH compliance documentation.
EU REACH Compliant
No hexavalent chromium compounds in any pretreatment stage
9-Stage Process
Full pretreatment tunnel ensuring paint adhesion and long-term durability
QUALICOAT Seaside
Highest QUALICOAT classification for coastal & harsh environments
AAMA Certified
Meets North American architectural coating specifications
Management
System
CANEX holds ISO 14001:2015 certification — the international standard for environmental management systems. This certification confirms that our environmental impacts are systematically identified, controlled, and continuously improved.
Certified by Intertek, our ISO 14001 covers all production operations at our 6th of October City facility, from raw material intake through to finished product dispatch.
"We are committed to the systematic management and continuous improvement of our environmental performance — not because regulations require it, but because it is the right way to operate."
CANEX Environmental Policy
Work with a manufacturer that takes environmental responsibility seriously — at every stage, every batch, every delivery.
