Production line and factory setup overview
Fabricates unitised or stick aluminium curtain-wall components from engineered profiles, glass, gaskets and hardware through cut-list control, precision cutting/machining, frame assembly, pressure-plate/cover preparation, glazing, sealant work, dry fit, quality checks and protected packing.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start with one engineered stick-system family and project-specific jigs. This workshop must work from approved façade drawings and structural calculations; confirm profile system, anchors, drainage, pressure equalisation, glass, sealants and mock-up test requirements before production.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Shop-drawing and cut-list release
- Profile receipt/traceability
- Precision cutting and CNC machining
- Mullion/transom/frame assembly
- Pressure plate/cover and gasket preparation
- Glazing/sealant work where in scope
- Dry fit, squareness and drainage inspection
- Project-labelled packing/dispatch
Products, capacity and market fit
- Confirm an installed sample and applicable performance standard.
- Launch with a defined product family and documented process settings.
- Keep material and release records for each batch.
- Aluminium curtain-wall components - Profile system, mullion/transom geometry, glass make-up, pressure equalisation, drainage, anchors, gaskets, sealants, tolerances and project test requirements - Commercial façades, offices, hotels, malls, hospitals and façade contractors

Raw materials, utilities and factory requirements
- Engineered aluminium profiles, glass/IGUs, gaskets, pressure plates, covers, fasteners, approved sealants, anchors, protective film and project-specific packing
- Stable industrial power, clean covered glass storage and protected handling routes
- Guarded machinery, glass-breakage procedures, PPE, maintenance plan and critical spares
Indicative low-entry investment and implementation plan
These planning ranges prioritize economical machinery, local labor and local civil works. Final pricing follows confirmed capacity, product specification, delivery terms and site conditions.
| Scope | Indicative range | Entry-plan note |
|---|---|---|
| Precision cutting/CNC and project jigs | US$45k–180k | Curtain-wall workshop cell |
| Assembly, glazing and QC tools | US$30k–120k | Project-system dependent |
| Freight, setup, testing and spares | US$35k–140k | Mock-up and design coordination |
| Indicative total | US$110k–440k | Workshop, profiles/glass and project site works excluded |
