Capral Aluminium partners with Tindo Solar in a major boost for Australia’s renewable energy sector

About the agreement

This agreement represents a pivotal move for both companies as Tindo accelerates its operations to meet growing demand. The initial supply deal underscores Tindo's commitment to prioritising local suppliers within the renewable energy sector.  Solar energy is one of the primary renewable energy sources in sun-soaked countries, and aluminium is a key material in solar panels.

Capral, recognised as a leader in the Australian market for its 'LocAL' lower carbon aluminium, operates multiple extrusion plants nationwide. This partnership reflects Capral's dedication to sustainability and ongoing support for Australian industries.

On Tuesday, Adelaide-based Tindo announced its first order of aluminium frames from Capral, the country's largest aluminium extruder and distributor. Tindo Solar CEO Richard Petterson stated that Capral Aluminium's innovation in producing low-carbon, high-quality extruded aluminium products aligns well with Tindo's commitment to a low-carbon and locally sourced footprint.

"Capral's collaboration with Tindo is a testament to the strength of Australian manufacturing. While our initial focus is on meeting Tindo's current production needs, we are particularly excited about supporting their future Gigafactory with locally extruded aluminium. This venture is more than just a significant step for Tindo; it represents a milestone for the entire Australian manufacturing sector, showcasing our potential to lead in sustainable energy solutions and build a more resilient local supply chain," said Luke Hawkins, Capral's divisional general manager of industrial and supply chain.
