Impact Extrusion is a versatile forming process used to create thinwall seamless hollow shapes by a rapid single stoke application of force through a punch. This process has many advantages over conventional production methods such as casting and machining, saving on secondary operations, reducing waste material, reducing cycle times and offering tight tolerances over diameters and lengths.

The market applications for Impact Extrusions are vast - for example:
Defence/Pyrotechnics
Electrical/Electronic
Corporate gift packaging
Automotive
Speciality packaging
Medical
Marker pens/Auto touch up
Promotional packaging
Technical/Industrial
