Extrusion in the EV and Clean Energy Supply Chain

Aluminium in EV's: Built for Performance

Lightweight, strong, corrosion-resistant, and thermally conductive, aluminium is the material of choice in EV design. Extrusions deliver in critical areas:

• Battery Housings: High-conductivity alloys for effective thermal management.
• Crash Management Systems: Absorbing impact with energy-dissipating aluminium extrusions.
• Lightweight Chassis: Replacing steel to increase vehicle range.
• Cable Management & Seals: Custom plastic extrusions protecting high-voltage wiring.

At BWC, we combine CNC machining, precision cutting, and assembly so that parts are supplied ready to integrate directly into EV platforms.

Clean Energy Infrastructure

Extrusions are equally central to renewable energy systems:

• Solar Panel Frames: Aluminium with cable routing channels and weather-resistant finishes.
• Offshore Wind Turbines: Trim, seals, and corrosion-proof aluminium profiles for decades of exposure.
• Charging Infrastructure: Modular housings, enclosures, and mounting systems made possible with custom extrusion.

With surface treatments such as powder-coating and anodisation, these systems are engineered for long-term durability.

Sustainability and Circularity 

The clean energy revolution must also be circular. At BWC, we enable:

• Recycled Aluminium Alloys (e.g. Hydro CIRCAL® >75% post-consumer scrap).
• Multi-Layer Plastics: Virgin skins with recycled cores.
• Design for Disassembly: Making end-of-life recovery simple and effective.

These strategies reduce embodied carbon, aligning with the UK Net Zero Strategy (2050) and international ESG expectations.

EVs and clean energy are no longer “future industries” — they are today’s reality. With engineered aluminium and plastic extrusions, BWC Profiles empowers clients to design for performance, compliance, and sustainability across the mobility and energy supply chain.

From battery housings to solar infrastructure, partner with us to bring precision extrusion into your clean energy systems.
