In a business climate traditionally driven by multinational corporations, Alspec proves that it knows the Australian market better than anyone. The locally-owned and -operated company, now in its 50th year, comes from humble beginnings – an order of 50,000 pool handles back in 1976. Today, it has a network of more than 700 employees in 14 locations around the country, and has a diverse line of aluminium products and hardware catering for clients that range from building commercial high-rises to small residential projects.

Indeed, today Alspec’s range is staggering, and unparalleled in the Australian market. Think aluminium residential door and window systems, commercial window and door systems, industrial products, aluminium cladding solutions, solar, home-improvement products and a wide array of hardware options.

Sustainability front of mind

Aluminium manufacturing can be an energy-intensive industry. But it doesn’t have to be. Environmental impact and sustainability are top priorities for Alspec, with the company determined to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. Among other energy-reduction initiatives, it is committed to using alternative energy sources (hydro, solar, gas-generated energy) and advanced technologies that reduce emissions, as well as improving waste management systems. To achieve this, it works closely with Sustainable Energy Solutions, another Australian-owned and operated business providing advice and education on renewable energy products and energy-efficient tech. 

Alspec also takes pride in educating customers and clients about the importance of supporting low-emission aluminium businesses to ensure a bright built environment and even brighter natural environment.

In a climate where Australians – indeed the world – are focused on protecting our futures, this sets Alspec apart as a global leader. The other thing that sets it apart is its passion for its people – employing talented, honest and hard-working staff, and treating them with respect; rewarding great work and innovation; ensuring customers are at the forefront. And doing all of this even when faced with significant global events, changing political landscapes, and evolving standards and markets.

Amid this global turmoil, Alspec company continued to grow, acquiring AIS (Aluminium Industrial Solutions), to provide a range of geometric shapes such as angles, channels, flat bars and tee sections to suit a variety of applications. As well as launching Alspec Solar, using cutting-edge technology to offer a seamless and cost-effective solution for commercial, industrial and residential needs.

It remains a market leader thanks to its ongoing investment in research and development, to ensure its extensive range of products and systems meet world-class standards – and world-class service.
