Nothing goes to waste.

Aluminium is endlessly recyclable, and we make the most of it. INEX is the only extruder in New Zealand that recycles its aluminium scrap directly to the smelter at Tiwai Point, working with the country's only aluminium producer so nothing is lost.

100% of aluminium scrap recycled.

We proactively track where scrap is generated across our operations to help reduce it at its source.

First aluminium extruder in New Zealand to be certified against the ASI Performance Standard.

Providing independent assurance over how our extrusion operations are managed.

Scrap returned directly to the Tiwai Point smelter.

A closed loop with New Zealand's only smelter — our scrap becomes new billet without leaving the country.

For almost 30 years, INEX has proudly lead New Zealand’s aluminium extrusion industry. Through reliable supply, trusted partnerships and meaningful employment, we enable sustainable futures for our people, customers and community.

1997
Construction begins on INEX’s purpose built facility at 20 Northpark Drive, Te Rapa.
7" Sack extrusion press installed and commissioned.

Our second press produced its first profile in November 2002.

A second press helped broaden our offering and cement our certainty of supply.
2004
INEX Metals (now INEX Distribution) established to ensure fast, reliable delivery of stocked aluminium to the New Zealand market.
2015
Dedicated scrap baler installed, making it easier for our team to recycle 100% of aluminium scrap.
2022
INEX celebrates 25 years, with four founding employees still part of the INEX team.
2026
