More than 60 years at the forefront of the aluminium industry from Galicia
With more than six decades of experience, Exlabesa has established itself as one of the leading companies in the manufacture of aluminium profiles and components, with a presence in more than 60 countries and an international network of 11 production facilities.
Our industrial capabilities enable us to undertake highly complex technical projects, supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure that includes two of the largest extrusion presses in Europe, with capacities of 65 and 85 MN.

Leading the transition towards a more sustainable industry
Sustainability is an integral part of our business strategy and long-term vision. That is why we continue to promote initiatives focused on the circular economy and reducing the environmental footprint of the aluminium industry.
One example of this commitment is RE-local, our low-carbon recycled aluminium range, developed to support a more efficient and environmentally responsible industry. Through our recycling and production capabilities, we are advancing towards an industrial model that combines competitiveness, innovation and sustainability.
Pedro Blanco also highlighted our ability to position ourselves “at the forefront of industry and compete from Galicia in the most demanding international markets through innovation, technology and sustainability”, recognising the continuous effort we make to develop increasingly advanced and responsible solutions.
