Company History: Taber Extrusions, LLC.
Taber Extrusions was founded in 1973, when the Taber family acquired an aluminum extrusion plant in Russellville, AR, from Dow Chemical (which had originally built the plant in 1970). National Material Company L.P. (NMLP) later purchased the company in 1976. The Arkansas facility was originally dedicated to the production of specific military related large, wide, and long extrusions for the U.S. Government, for which the company pioneered a process for extruding rectangular billet (or slab). The use of rectangular billet enables the company to extrude solid profiles up to 31 inches wide or hollows up to 29 inches.
In 1995, Taber expanded with the purchase of an extrusion facility in Gulfport, MS, which houses a cast house and two additional presses. Fabrication capabilities were added to the Russellville facility in 2014, which already houses the company's large 8,600 MT press with three container sizes (a container for the extrusion of rectangular billet, as well as two round containers, a 16 inch and a 20 inch). The fabrication area has been expanded several times since it was constructed, with the addition of B-800 series and Marvel band saws for precision cutting, horizontal and vertical machining centers, and coordinate measuring machine (CMM) for quality control.
To this day, the company continues to extrude billet in a wide range of alloys and sizes, including for the same military program, which remains one of the company's biggest customers. However, Taber has diversified its markets since its inception to include aerospace, automotive, marine, and sporting goods, among many others. For these markets, the company supplies cast and extruded products in a variety of soft and hard alloys. (Sourced from Light Metal Age Magazine)
