Pre-configured 20 series profiles tailored for Chile's specific structural and automation setups.
Chile's manufacturing, mining, and technology sectors are experiencing rapid modernization. From the copper and lithium giants in the dry expanse of the Atacama Desert to the bustling packaging and export logistics hubs of Valparaíso and Santiago, structural stability paired with system flexibility is paramount. The 20 series aluminum extrusion profiles have emerged as the foundational building blocks for modern engineering in the region.
Characterized by a compact cross-section (specifically 20mm grid increments) and available in multiple slot widths (6mm and 8mm), these profiles offer a optimal weight-to-strength ratio. Unlike heavy welded steel, anodized aluminum frames do not require hot-work permits, are immune to atmospheric oxidation, and can be easily retrofitted or scaled on-site. This makes them ideal for the harsh desert environments of northern Chile as well as clean, indoor laboratory systems in Santiago’s high-tech sector.
Chengdu E&I Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd. — Delivering global-grade precision.
Chengdu E&I Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd., in line with the business philosophy of "people-oriented, quality value, technological innovation, and win-win cooperation", is dedicated to the research and development and manufacturing of aluminum alloy products with high difficulty, high precision, and strict requirements. By maintaining strategic relationships with institutions like the National Institute of Nonferrous Metals, we rely on a professional technology research and development team to supply state-of-the-art profiles, castings, and forgings.
Our comprehensive facilities include design, extrusion production, automatic anodizing, and protective spraying lines. We supply a massive catalog of structural frames, workbenches, mechanical safety fencing, solar brackets, assembly lines, storage racks, cleanroom enclosures, and automation frameworks. With a focus on the strict national high-precision metrics, E&I products are valued globally for their fine finishes, strong corrosion resistance, reliable assembly accessories, shock-absorbent properties, and high joint strength.
Engineered specs suited to standard and heavy engineering projects in Latin America.
Building structures in Chile requires addressing specific engineering concerns, particularly earthquake compliance under NCh433 (Norma Chilena para Diseño Sismorresistente de Edificios). Traditional rigid welded structures can suffer from joint cracking due to cyclic seismic stress. In contrast, modular aluminum structural setups using 20 Series T-Slot extrusions exhibit high elasticity and damping features.
By coupling T-slot aluminum extrusions with specialized internal joint connectors, structural systems retain micro-flexibility. Under seismic vibration, the joints can disperse energy rather than concentrating stress. This ensures automated assembly line frames, sensor mounts, and high-tech warehouse cleanroom panels remain stable, preventing costly structural failures and protecting production lines.
Corrosion Protection: Our profiles are processed with an advanced anodized surface treatment forming a film thicker than 12 microns. This layer is highly resistant to saltwater corrosion in port cities like Valparaíso and San Antonio, and protects the structural integrity from aggressive airborne chemical agents found in Northern Chile’s lithium salt flats.
Easy Component Integration: T-Slots can accommodate sliding nuts, brackets, hinges, and sealing strips without machining. This streamlines the work of engineering crews and allows systems to be built on-site quickly, with minimal tools.

In addition to standard 20 series configurations, we manufacture reinforced units to build multi-tier heavy structures and complex mechanical systems. These products use matching T-slot hardware, including roll-in T-nuts, angle corner brackets, and linear joint bars, to provide high load capacity.
Hassle-free shipping, direct factory pricing, and favorable custom duties.
Navigating international supply chains can present logistical challenges. Through the TLC (Tratado de Libre Comercio) between Chile and China, importing aluminum products from Chengdu E&I is straightforward. Most of our profiles fall under preferential tariff schemes, reducing custom duties when accompanied by a valid Certificate of Origin (Form F).
Our dedicated export logistics team manages the entire process. From container packaging at our factory in Chengdu to loading onto major ocean freighters bound for Valparaíso, San Antonio, or Iquique, we ensure proper securement. Heavy profiles are bundled with protective paper interlayers and packed inside reinforced wooden crates to prevent bending or scratching during sea transit.
