WESTERN EXTRUSIONS
Welcome to Western Extrusions. Founded in 1979, the company has grown from the
original 49,000 square feet facility with one 1,650-ton press to over 550,000 square feet
of manufacturing space that includes five presses, horizontal paint line, anodizing, and
fabrication centers. This phenomenal growth has been a direct result of customer service
and continued reinvestment in order to provide our customers with the products they
need, when they need them.
Any company can proclaim superior customer service, but it requires quality people to
deliver on that promise. To go along with modern technology and leading edge equipment,
Western is aware that true excellence requires the right people. Consequently, we have
assembled some of the most experienced and skilled personnel in the industry.
Many managers and employees have been with the company for over 10 years. Western
employees share management’s ”Sense of Urgency” in supplying you, our customer.
These same people are committed to solving your problems by going one step further
in fulfilling your needs.

CUSTOMER SERVICE
Our dedicated staff of customer service representatives is always either a phone call or
an email away. The Western way is to provide superior service by establishing strong
relationships with our customers in order to anticipate future needs. We strive to understand
your business and help you succeed.
In order to ensure that the customer remains at the forefront of the operation, Western uses
tracking software throughout its operation, from order entry to shipping and invoicing.
Utilizing this system, Western can provide its customers with up to-the-minute order status
information. Software is used to manage backlogs, generate work orders, and collect
production data throughout the facility. Being one of the first extrusion companies to
implement tracking software, over 20 years ago, Western continues to be in the forefront
through testing new software applications.
