Providing complete aluminium solutions tailored to specific client needs is at the heart of NALCO (National Aluminium Ltd). This includes designing, manufacturing, importing and exporting aluminium extrusions and related products, as well as offering value-added services such as precision profile cutting on one of New Zealand’s largest CNC routers.
NALCO is a vertically-integrated business, offering end-to-end solutions to its customers. The company can take a log of aluminium from Tiwai Point aluminium smelter near Bluff, and deliver it as a finished product to the marketplace.
Customers operate in an extensive range of industries. “Our commitment to innovation and quality has made us a leader in window and door design,” Managing Director and founder of NALCO Ron Holden said.
“We’ve also got the engineering capability to service the marine market, and work with some of New Zealand’s most respected marine designers – and that’s unique in our industry.”
Key markets for NALCO are those for residential and commercial buildings. These are serviced through the company’s wholly-owned Bradnams Windows and Doors business unit, as well as by Nulook Windows and Doors, who are independently-owned licensed fabricators. Stellar doors are another NALCO product, which offer high quality yet low maintenance entrance doors.
