Hi guys, just seen this kind of profile today at a company that imports them from somewhere. Couldn't get much info, they are 30x30, 2mm meat.
Do you have any idea what variety of slot extrusion are these?

Looks like Misumi 6 series or 8020inc 3030 series clones.

[uk.misumi-ec.com]

[8020.net]

Compared to the Misumi and 8020 extrusions, these would be much weaker. I wouldn't waste any time trying to find the manufacturer.

Extrusion dies are cheap (relatively speaking). Lots of folks in industry get custom extrusion dies with a purchase of some min quantity of weight of parts. I imagine in China it's even cheaper, especially when the extrusion house has downtime. Point is that it's entirely likely that you'll never chase down anything on it. Could have been a one off run.

This is 30x30 and is twice as expensive compared to the 20x20 square tube but I don't really see it stronger than the 20x20.
