DID YOU KNOW?

There Are Over 100 Aluminum Profiles in a Single Supermarket

When people think of aluminum, they imagine doors or frames. But extruded aluminum is everywhere – even in a place you wouldn't expect: the supermarket.

👀 Look around – you’ll notice:

• Display racks & shelves: support frames, crossbars, sliders

• Ceiling lights: housing frames, trim profiles, heat sinks

• Checkout counters: edge rails, wire trays, scanner mounts

• Sliding glass doors: tracks, handles, bumpers

• Refrigerated displays: curved trims, door frames, shelf supports

• Overhead signage: lightweight hanging frames

• Cold-air curtains: extruded aluminum rail guides

👉 Each component can use a different aluminum profile – totaling over 100 unique cross-sections in one standard supermarket.

🧠 What does this tell us?

1. Aluminum is quietly present in our daily lives

2. Extruded aluminum isn’t just material – it’s a modular design solution

3. Lightweight, durable, and easily customizable, aluminum enables retailers to change layouts and upgrade systems without disruption
