Operating 24/7 from our modern 115,000-square-foot facility in Franklin, NH, we extruded more than 30 million pounds of custom aluminum components in 2016 for system integrators, OEMs and product manufacturers through the Northeast. In addition to producing aluminum extrusions, we provide fabrication, machining and tooling, as well as parts assembly, packaging and inventory supply solutions. Aluminum extrusion is a technique used to transform aluminum alloy into a specific shape. An extrusion may be a component used in a specific product, such as a heat sink for a light fixture, or a part, such as a hinge or bracket, used in a variety of products. Today, aluminum extrusions are used for a wide range of purposes, including components on automobiles, computers, household appliances, and solar panels. The growing use of aluminum is due to its strength, light weight, thermal and electrical conductivity, and ability to be recycled repeatedly without loss of integrity. Vitex proudly supports system integrators, OEMs and product manufacturers from the electronics, sporting goods, solar energy, automation and construction industries. We are always seeking Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) Technicians, Extrusion line operators, Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machine operators and CNC set-up operators, and currently filling a number of positions in our assembly and packaging division. Yes We support our local community through participation in a number of events, including the Choose Franklin Community Day, BIA of NH, and Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce.

AT A G L A N C E "When I started at Vitex as a CNC machine setup apprentice, there was a lot to learn, fast. While NHTI gave me the training to get my foot in the door, Vitex has given me opportunities to learn more and advance. Today, I'm a CNC Programmer and get to program the machines that cut, shape and finish the extrusions into usable components. It's exciting to see the parts we manufacture become part of everyday products."
