Why Aluminium Handles Are the Material of Choice

Aluminium offers unique advantages that make it ideal for high-performance handles:

• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
  Provides robust support without adding unnecessary weight, crucial in aerospace, transportation, and portable equipment.
• Corrosion Resistance
  Naturally forms a protective oxide layer, resisting rust and degradation, with optional anodized or powder-coated finishes for extra protection.
• Design Flexibility
  Aluminium’s malleability allows Mato to produce ergonomic, sleek, and recessed handle designs, including modern Gola profiles that integrate seamlessly with cabinet fronts.
• Thermal & Electrical Conductivity
  Suitable for applications requiring heat dissipation or grounding.
• Sustainability
  Fully recyclable without quality loss, aligning with eco-conscious manufacturing priorities.
