Establishment of the new trade centre at Geelong is another way of consolidating Capral Aluminium’s presence in regional Victoria. This marks a significant development for the company as it seeks to extend its reach to serve the needs of regional Victoria. This is just one more step taken by the company in investing in the Australian manufacturing industry. The Geelong aluminium trade centre has been established to improve access to a comprehensive range of aluminium products for local businesses, manufacturers, fabricators and tradespeople. Customers will benefit from a wide selection of aluminium extrusions, sheet, plate and rolled products, supported by expert local assistance and Capral’s extensive national supply network.
