Your Guide to Aluminium Tubing in New Zealand

Aluminium, often hailed as the "wonder metal," has earned its reputation for strength, lightness, and versatility. For centuries, it has been used in everything from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics to the sleek exteriors of modern skyscrapers. Today, at Mount Marine Engineering, we use the power of aluminium tubing to create high-quality, custom-fabricated products for a wide range of applications.

A Glimpse into Aluminium's History:

While aluminium wasn't officially isolated until 1825, its presence has been known for much longer. Traces of the element have been found in ancient Egyptian pottery and Roman glassware. However, early extraction methods were incredibly expensive, making aluminium a rare and valuable material. Fast forward to the late 19th century, and a revolutionary new process dramatically reduced production costs, paving the way for aluminium's widespread use. Today, it is the second-most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, second only to iron.
