Who We Are

Penn Aluminum International LLC, a Marmon/Berkshire Hathaway Company, is a leading domestic Aluminum extruder of high quality, tight tolerance drawn tubing for the Automotive, HVAC, Defense and other critical American Industries. The company recently developed a new product line of UL listed Rigid Aluminum Conduit (RAC) and Penn Aluminum BLUE LIGHTNING Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) to diversify into the Electrical Construction Market. The benefits of these products include reducing overall electrical project costs, improved worker and jobsite safety and supporting the trend of more sustainable construction design.

What You’ll Do

By driving acceptance and demand for our Aluminum conduit products from design to jobsite and back through the distribution supply chain, the large market share historically maintained by galvanized steel conduit products will open opportunities for extensive growth for Penn Aluminum.

Strong emphasis will be on promoting the demand and market acceptance of Penn Aluminum BLUE LIGHTNING EMT, a patented and proprietary engineered product.
