Aluminum's unmatched strength-to-weight ratio drives adoption across rail, automotive, bus, and aerospace. CANEX supplies precision-extruded profiles and die-cast components to transportation OEMs requiring consistent alloy composition and tight dimensional tolerances.

 
Overview
Precision Aluminum for
Transport OEMs Worldwide

The transportation industry's drive toward lighter, more fuel-efficient, and lower-emission vehicles has made aluminum the structural material of choice across every mode of transport — rail, road, and beyond.

CANEX supplies precision-extruded aluminum profiles and die-cast components to transportation OEMs — from metro rail car body sections and automotive structural extrusions to bus floor profiles and truck cab sections. Our manufacturing combines consistent alloy composition, tight dimensional tolerances, and full material traceability to meet the demanding quality standards of transportation supply chains.

With both extrusion and die casting in-house, CANEX can supply complete aluminum component programs — profiles, castings, and finishing — from a single source.

FAQ
Transportation &
Mobility Questions

What aluminum products does CANEX supply for rail and transportation?

+

CANEX supplies extruded aluminum profiles and die castings for the full transportation spectrum — rail car body sections, monorail profiles, automotive structural extrusions, bus and coach frame sections, truck body profiles, and custom OEM shapes. All products are manufactured to ISO 9001:2015 with full material traceability.

What alloys does CANEX use for automotive and transportation extrusions?

+

CANEX uses 6063-T6 for standard transportation profiles, 6061-T6 for structural automotive and rail applications, and 7075 alloy is available on request for aerospace-grade high-strength applications. All alloys are supplied with full material certificates and chemical composition reports.

Does CANEX supply aluminum die castings for transportation components?

+

Yes. CANEX operates both low-pressure die casting (LPDC) and gravity casting (GC) facilities, supplying A380 and A360 alloy die castings for transportation structural nodes, brackets, connector housings, and complex geometry parts — all with full dimensional inspection and material traceability.

Can CANEX produce custom OEM aluminum profiles for transportation manufacturers?

+

Yes. CANEX provides a complete in-house die design and manufacturing service for transportation OEMs. Submit your cross-section DXF or CAD drawing, and our engineers will assess extrudability, manufacture the die, and deliver first article samples with dimensional inspection reports within 4–6 weeks.

Is CANEX ISO 9001 certified for transportation supply chain requirements?

+

Yes. CANEX is ISO 9001:2015 certified across all production processes. We issue material test certificates, chemical composition reports, mechanical property test reports, and dimensional inspection documentation — meeting the requirements of major transportation OEM supply chains.

Can CANEX deliver aluminum transportation profiles to North America and Europe?

+

Yes. CANEX offers DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) delivery to transportation manufacturers in North America, Europe, and across MENA. We manage all customs clearance, freight, and logistics documentation — simplifying international procurement for transportation OEMs.
