Profilco Contracts Danieli for 28-MN Extrusion Press

Profilco Aluminum Systems S.A. has awarded Danieli the contract to supply a new, 28-MN aluminum extrusion press, which will be installed at the company’s plant near Athens, Greece.

The project marks another important milestone in the long-standing partnership between the two companies. Profilco already operates a Danieli Breda extrusion press commissioned in 2001, and the new investment will support its ongoing capacity expansion and strategic growth plans.

The new press will be equipped with Danieli Breda’s latest Energy Saving Electrical Drive technology, ESED 5.0, designed to further reduce energy consumption while simultaneously improving press performance, reliability, and availability. The result will be higher productivity, enhanced product quality, and lower operating costs.

Building upon the proven success of the ESED 4.0 platform, the new ESED 5.0 introduces an advanced hydraulic power pack architecture and enhanced automation functions. These innovations deliver an additional 5% reduction in energy consumption, raising the total achievable energy savings up to 30% compared to conventional extrusion solutions available on the market.

Scheduled for commissioning in late 2027, the new extrusion line will produce a wide range of aluminum profiles, with a particular focus on architectural and industrial applications, enabling Profilco to further strengthen its position in both domestic and international markets.
