We Do It All - And We Do It Well
Capabilities
As an industry leader in aluminum extrusion, PSI Industries, Inc. provides full-service capabilities developed with the needs of diverse applications in mind. We deliver superior quality components by maintaining ISO 9001:2015 certification and offering customized manufacturing plans as well as state-of-the-art metrology.
Whether you need a prototype or a high-volume production run, we’re ready to meet your needs with low tooling costs and the fastest lead times in the industry. Our skilled team has expertise in creating aluminum products for automotive applications, lighting, consumer goods, signage, the medical industry, and much more.
Aluminum Extrusions
Our services begin with high-quality, certified aluminum and automated extrusion presses capable of meeting highly precise tolerance requirements. Our Texas facilities are equipped with presses in multiple sizes to ensure we’re able to meet industry-diverse needs:
- 525 ton: 2.5 in.
- 525 ton: 3.5 in.
- 1050 ton: 5.125 in.
- 1500 ton: 6.00 in.
Low minimum orders, with die costs starting at $985 for solid shapes. We use aluminum alloy 6061 and 6063 for our extrusions. These materials both offer good tensile strength, workability, and corrosion resistance.
Alloy 6061 is commonly known as structural aluminum. It is used for everything from sports equipment to aerospace components. Alloy 6063, on the other hand, is referred to as architectural aluminum. It has been optimized for extrudability, is easily anodized, and is used in applications ranging from furniture to architectural components.
Benefits of Aluminum Extrusions
PSI Industries, Inc. works with the most advanced equipment in the industry to produce profiles that are very close to the final required shape. This greatly reduces the amount of machining a project requires and in turn, lowers its cost and production time.
Since our extrusion presses are automated, they’re capable of operating continuously for minimal lead times and consistent product quality. We achieve high-quality surface finishes and provide our customers with complete control over their design.

- Live tool turning
- Complex 5-axis machining
- Complex 4-axis machining, up to 36 in.
- 3-axis machining, up to 60 in. with 3D surfacing capabilities
Whether your project requires high or low part volumes, we’re equipped to meet your needs with completely customized, turnkey parts. We machine components for an extensive range of applications, including:
- Appliances
- Brackets
- Construction
- Enclosures and housings
- Heat sinks
- Internal mechanical parts
- Lighting
- Manufacturing fixtures
Anodizing Services
In applications that require an aluminum component to be extremely corrosion-resistant, anodizing provides an effective solution. Anodized metal features enhanced strength as well as an attractive surface finish that won't flake off over time. The process of anodizing a metal like aluminum involves placing a cathode into an anodizing tank and then passing a current through an electrolyte medium. The resulting oxygen reaction forms a protective layer along the component's surface as well as deep into its pores.
The longer a component is exposed to this bath, the thicker its anodic surface layer becomes. The finished result is a polished component that remains 100% pure aluminum yet offers much greater corrosion resistance. While there are many anodizing techniques available, two of the most common are clear and black anodizing.
Clear anodizing is typically performed to prevent corrosion. After the coating is complete, colored dyes can be applied if desired and the finished part can be used both indoors and outdoors. Black anodizing is also referred to as hard coat anodizing. In addition to enhanced corrosion resistance, this technique also provides improved friction and abrasion resistance.
PSI Industries, Inc. offers several types of anodizing services, including:
- Class 1 clear anodizing
- Class 2 black anodizing
- Satin (typeII)
- Clear chromate finish (Mil-C-5541)
- Mechanical finishes
In addition, we offer a range of complementary off-site finishing services, such as bright dip and wet paint finishing.

Powder Coating
Powder coating is a beneficial alternative to traditional liquid paint. The process achieves highly durable, vibrant colors that are not only cost-effective but environmentally safe as well. At PSI, we use a 4-stage inline conveyor system for powder coating. This equipment features a two-man paint station and a 30 ft. oven that’s capable of curing parts up to 12 ft. in length. For parts longer than 12 ft., we facilitate off-site powder coating services.
Special Packaging
At PSI, we handle every stage of your project with care, and that extends to so much more than the manufacturing process itself. We have a full department dedicated to developing specialized packing for each custom extrusion order and can produce custom-designed packaging according to your components’ exact specifications. We pay special attention to repeatability and consistency to ensure that each product is transported securely, no matter how large your order is.
Standard Shapes/Heat Sink
For extruded aluminum heat sinks and other standard shapes, we carry in-house dies to ensure fast and simple production. In most circumstances, we produce and ship these products in as little as two to four weeks. Our minimum order quantities vary according to press size:
- 3 in. press: 50 lb minimum order
- 5.125 in. press: 150 lb minimum order
Lighting Assembly and Other Services
To streamline your operations, we offer a range of lighting assembly and other services:
- Hardware installation
- LED lighting assemblies
- Mechanical and electrical assemblies
- Attaching gaskets
- Applying faceplate labels
- Custom kitting and packaging services
