Indalco® Alloys, Inc.

For more than 25 years, Indalco® Alloys has produced a broad range of premium aluminum alloy TIG (GTAW) cut lengths and MIG (GMAW) wires in a variety of convenient packages for projects large and small.

The Company also serves as a continuous cast redraw producer for other processors of aluminum wire products. Manufacturing was recently upgraded with a significant modernization of the Company’s continuous cast aluminum rod mill facilities. Indalco® remains the only aluminum welding consumables supplier that controls the chemistry and quality of its own rod to manufacture welding consumables. The result is enhanced product consistency at the arc and the ability to customize formulations to target specific metallurgical challenges raised by customer applications.

In recent years, the Company has expanded its product line to aluminum stick electrode (SMAW) products and new forms of welding consumable bulk packaging.
