Golden Aluminum manufactures aluminum sheet and roll stock in Fort Lupton, using a patented casting process to produce a wide range of alloys, thicknesses, coatings, and colors. The product is formed by casting the alloys, then rolling them into thin sheet stock (as thin as .005 inches up to .032 inches) with tight tolerances and optional FDA-coated finishes. It differentiates itself with the patented casting method that supports diverse finishes and ultra-thin sheets with precise tolerances, all within a privately held ISO 9001-certified facility since 1983. Its goal is to supply specialized, reliable aluminum roll stock and coated products for food, beverage, electronics, and building industries while meeting exact specifications and regulatory requirements.
