Aluminum

ULAMEX is a trusted aluminum wholesale supplier serving industrial buyers across Europe. We provide a comprehensive range of aluminum semi-finished products — from extruded profiles and structural sections to precision-cut sheet, pipes and round bars. All materials are sourced from certified European mills, available from stock, and delivered with EN-compliant documentation. Whether you require standard alloys or specific temper designations, our technical team supports your procurement process from inquiry to delivery.

Aluminum Materials for Industry and Construction

Aluminum is one of the most versatile engineering materials in modern industry. Its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, natural corrosion resistance and full recyclability make it the material of choice for construction, mechanical engineering, transport and renewable energy applications. As an experienced aluminum supplier with EN 1090 certification, ULAMEX delivers aluminum alloys and semi-finished products to professional buyers throughout Europe.

Our aluminum product range covers three core categories: aluminum profiles and sections including T-slot, angle, channel and flat bar; aluminum pipes and rods in round, square, rectangular and hexagonal cross-sections; and aluminum sheet in smooth, checker plate and coil formats. All products are manufactured according to EN 573 (alloy designation) and EN 755 (extruded products) standards.

We stock the most commonly specified aluminum alloys for industrial use: EN AW-6060 and EN AW-6063 for architectural profiles and extrusions, EN AW-6082 for load-bearing structural components requiring higher strength, EN AW-5754 (AlMg3) for marine and chemical environments, and EN AW-1050A for sheet applications demanding high formability and electrical conductivity. Mill test certificate 3.1 per EN 10204 is available on request. Please specify this requirement when placing your order, as each certificate is batch-traceable and individually assigned per shipment.

For buyers who also work with ferrous metals, we offer a parallel range of structural steel products and stainless steel — enabling single-source procurement of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Our aluminum stock is available for cutting to size, with Europe-wide delivery arranged from our warehouse in Poland.

ULAMEX has been active in the metal wholesale trade since 1988. As a specialist distributor of steel and aluminum, we combine deep product knowledge with reliable logistics. Our aluminum stock is certified to EN 1090 and our quality management system complies with ISO 3834. We deliver across Europe — from standard orders dispatched from stock within days to project-specific quantities cut to your specifications. Full material documentation, including mill test certificate 3.1, is available on request — please specify when placing your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What aluminum alloys does ULAMEX offer?

ULAMEX stocks aluminum semi-finished products in the most widely used alloy series: EN AW-6060, 6063 and 6082 (AlMgSi family — profiles and structural components), EN AW-5754 and 5052 (AlMg family — sheet, marine and chemical use), and EN AW-1050A (commercially pure aluminum — sheet and electrical applications). All alloys are available in standard temper designations (T5, T6, H22, H24, H111).

What is the difference between aluminum 6061 and 6063?

EN AW-6063 is the standard extrusion alloy, offering excellent surface finish and good corrosion resistance — ideal for architectural profiles, window frames and decorative applications. EN AW-6061 (and the European equivalent 6082) provides higher tensile strength and is preferred for structural and load-bearing components. Both alloys are weldable, but 6082/6061 offers better performance in high-stress applications.

Does ULAMEX deliver aluminum across Europe?

Yes. ULAMEX ships aluminum products to customers throughout Europe, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, the Benelux countries, France, and Central Europe. Delivery is arranged from our warehouse in Poland, with standard lead times depending on order volume and destination.

What certifications does ULAMEX hold for aluminum?

ULAMEX is certified to EN 1090 for the supply of structural metal components, and our quality management system complies with ISO 3834. Mill test certificate 3.1 per EN 10204 is available on request. As each certificate is batch-traceable and individually assigned per shipment, it must be specified when placing the order.

Is there a minimum order quantity for aluminum?

Minimum order quantities depend on the product type and alloy. For standard stock items (profiles, sheet, bars), we offer flexible quantities suitable for both project orders and ongoing supply. Please request a quote with your specific requirements — our team will confirm availability and terms.

Which aluminum alloy is best for outdoor use?

For outdoor applications, EN AW-6063 and EN AW-6060 offer good natural corrosion resistance and are the most common choice for architectural and exterior profiles. For marine or highly corrosive environments, EN AW-5754 (AlMg3) and EN AW-5083 provide superior resistance to saltwater and chemicals. Anodized finishes further enhance the durability of all aluminum alloys in outdoor conditions.

Can ULAMEX cut aluminum to size?

Yes. We offer aluminum cutting to size on profiles, bars, tubes and sheet. Cuts are performed to your specified dimensions with standard sawing tolerances. This service is available for both stock items and project quantities. Please include your required dimensions when submitting your inquiry.

Aluminum vs stainless steel — which material is better?

The choice depends on the application. Aluminum is approximately one-third the weight of stainless steel, making it ideal where weight reduction matters (transport, facades, solar structures). Stainless steel offers higher strength, superior heat resistance and is required for food-grade and high-temperature environments. For corrosion resistance, both materials perform well — aluminum naturally and stainless steel through its chromium content. ULAMEX supplies both materials, enabling direct comparison and single-source procurement.
