What it is
CBAM puts a carbon price on certain imported goods, so that they carry a cost comparable to EU-made products under the EU emissions trading system. Aluminium is one of the covered sectors.
Technical profiles for system manufacturers
aluTM is the engineering and production partner for system manufacturers who depend on precision, consistency and long-term supply of their aluminium components.
Scope of supply
Choose from a large mould library, or have a custom die developed for your system. Tolerances, geometry and surface are specified to your drawing.
Markets served: Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, France, Italy, Austria, USA, Canada.


Production
We combine die design, extrusion, anodizing, powder coating and machining in one integrated network.
| Press | Force | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| 4" line | 900 t | 100 t / month |
| 5" line | 1,100 t | 160 t / month |
| 6" line | 1,460 t | 250 t / month |
| 6" line | 2,000 t | 350 t / month |
| 7" line | 2,000 t | 350 t / month |
Surface treatment
Racked profiles move through a dedicated treatment line with lab-checked chemistry. Anodizing, powder coating, grinding and polishing are part of our integrated network.
Quality and certification
Management systems and product standards we hold. Current certificates are available on request.
Issuing bodies as shown on our certificates.
Sustainability
We aim to meet, and go beyond, our customers' sustainability expectations.

Shipping and packing
We pack, label and load your profiles ourselves. Packing method and labelling are agreed per order, so goods arrive ready for your line.


















Tools
Theoretical weight per metre, per piece and per order. For your own drawing, enter the cross-section area from your CAD.
Please check the dimensions: the wall is too thick for this section.
Theoretical nominal weight. A density of 2.70 g/cm³ is typical for 6xxx alloys. Actual weight varies within the dimensional tolerances of EN 755-9 / EN 12020-2; corner radii are not included for angles.
Process
Four stages with a single contact throughout.
CBAM · Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
Since 1 January 2026, imports of aluminium products into the EU fall under CBAM. This is what it means for your orders.
CBAM puts a carbon price on certain imported goods, so that they carry a cost comparable to EU-made products under the EU emissions trading system. Aluminium is one of the covered sectors.
The EU importer of record is normally the declarant. They need authorised CBAM declarant status, report the emissions embedded in the goods and surrender CBAM certificates. Importers below an annual threshold of 50 tonnes are relieved of most of these obligations.
Certificates for 2026 imports can be bought from 1 February 2027; the 2026 price follows the quarterly average of EU ETS allowances. The cost depends on the emissions embedded in the aluminium. Verified actual data can be more favourable than the default values, which are set per product and country of origin.
Tell us with your enquiry that CBAM matters for the order. We then clarify with production which emissions data and documents can be provided, and we show the customs classification on our paperwork.
General information, status October 2026. Not legal or customs advice. Rules and thresholds are still evolving; please confirm with your customs broker or the competent authority.
