Engineered to withstand extreme environmental demands—from the hyper-arid Atacama Desert to salt-heavy Antarctic marine corridors.
As a premier direct-factory manufacturer and global exporter of high-grade aluminum liquid cold plates, extruded heat sinks, and structural thermal plates, our metallurgical footprint spans over five decades. Originally established in 1972 as an integrated metals group, our operations have evolved to incorporate advanced alloy formulation, heavy press extrusion, precision CNC machining, and automated surface finishing within a single unified production ecosystem.
For B2B procurement managers, thermal design engineers, and industrial contractors in Chile, sourcing cold plates requires more than basic dimensional accuracy. It demands strict material compliance, guaranteed thermal conductivity ($W/m\cdot K$), structural homogeneity without internal voids, and absolute sealing integrity against glycol-water mixtures. Our manufacturing facility combines Friction Stir Welding (FSW), Deep-Hole Gun Drilling, and Vacuum Brazing to deliver liquid cold plates designed for the most aggressive thermal management workloads.
Tailored engineering solutions addressing the unique climate, altitude, and industrial demands of Chile's key economic sectors.
Chile's copper and lithium mining operations operate at extreme elevations (2,500m to 4,500m above sea level) with reduced atmospheric pressure and severe ambient temperature swings. Our heavy-duty 6061-T6 liquid cold plates cool IGBT power converters in electric haul trucks, crushing plants, and smelter VFD drives, maintaining stable heat dissipation where air cooling fails.
The Atacama Desert boasts the world's highest solar irradiance. Solar farm central inverters and utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) require high-heat-flux cooling blocks. We export custom-cut 3003 embedded tube cold plates and high-density aluminum heat sinks engineered to prevent thermal runaway in lithium-ion battery modules.
Chile's aquaculture sector relies heavily on seawater cooling and rapid salmon freezing systems. We supply certified 5083-H116 marine grade aluminum plates, offering unmatched resistance to exfoliation and pitting in salt-laden coastal atmospheres across Valparaíso, Talcahuano, and Puerto Montt.
Understanding the macroeconomic and regulatory shift in Chile is vital for long-term B2B procurement security. As Chile accelerates its transition toward a sustainable energy economy, demand for specialized thermal hardware is experiencing unprecedented growth.

We provide official Certificate of Origin Form F with every export shipment. Under the China-Chile FTA, imported aluminum plates and heat sink assemblies qualifying under Form F enjoy preferential zero-tariff or reduced import duties at major Chilean entry ports such as San Antonio and Valparaíso.
Every shipment includes a full Mill Test Certificate (MTC) conforming to EN 10204 3.1 detailing chemical composition and mechanical properties. Liquid cold plates undergo 100% pressure decay or helium leak testing (up to 12 Bar) with documented test certificates prior to crating.
Yes. Utilizing multi-axis CNC high-speed milling and Friction Stir Welding (FSW) or vacuum brazing technology, we manufacture complex internal serpentine, pin-fin, or parallel liquid flow paths based on your DXF, STEP, or SolidWorks files.
Export packaging features interleaved protective PE film or neutral anti-corrosion kraft paper between each plate, desiccants inside sealed heavy VCI vacuum barrier bags, and outer fumigated ISPM-15 wooden crates built for secure 20ft/40ft container sea freight.
Custom CNC cold plate tooling and sample machining typically takes 10–15 working days. Express air freight (via DHL/FedEx) delivers prototypes directly to your Chilean engineering office within 5–7 business days following final inspection approval.
Yes. We offer deep-groove CNC milled aluminum plates with press-fitted or epoxy-bonded seamless copper or stainless steel tubing, offering zero risk of liquid contact with aluminum when aggressive coolant chemistries are utilized.
To ensure zero defect rates upon arrival at your Chilean facility, our quality assurance process adheres strictly to international ISO and AS standards:
Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) verify mounting hole locations, channel depth, and surface flatness down to 0.005mm/100mm, ensuring tight thermal contact with power semiconductors.
Every liquid cooling plate undergoes nitrogen or pneumatic underwater bubble testing followed by hydrostatic hold testing at 1.5x working pressure to guarantee lifetime seal integrity.
Anodized layers and powder coatings undergo eddy-current thickness testing, cross-hatch adhesion testing (ASTM D3359), and salt spray corrosion testing (ASTM B117) exceeding 1,000 hours.
