Question 1

Who manufactures the profiles and who is my contract party?

Accepted Answer

Production takes place at Ersaş Aluminium in Turkey. Your contract party and supplier is GBS ALU in Lijnden, the Netherlands: we handle quotation, contract, import and delivery, and you receive a Dutch invoice.

Question 2

Do I need to arrange anything for CBAM myself?

Accepted Answer

No. When you buy via GBS ALU, GBS ALU acts as importer and authorised CBAM declarant. The CBAM cost estimate is shown transparently in your quotation. Your own CBAM threshold is not affected by this purchase.

Question 3

Which alloys and finishes are available?

Accepted Answer

EN AW-6060, 6063 and 6082, with anodising (natural, black, bronze) or powder coating in standard RAL colours. Availability of a specific colour and minimum batch size are confirmed per quotation.

Question 4

Are the products certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes — production partner Ersaş Aluminium is the certificate holder of ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, QUALICOAT, QUALANOD, EN 755 and EN 12020, among others. GBS ALU does not hold these certificates itself; they apply to production at Ersaş.

Question 5

What are the lead time and minimum order quantity?

Accepted Answer

That depends on profile, die, finishing and volume. We deliberately do not quote standard figures: you receive the concrete lead time and minimum order in your quotation, after technical review of your drawing.

Question 6

How do I request a quote?

Accepted Answer

Send your DWG, DXF, STEP or PDF with alloy, dimensions, surface treatment and expected annual volume via the contact form. You will receive prompt technical feedback.
