Alu Menziken Extrusion AG (primarily referred to as Alu Menziken Group) is a Swiss steel manufacturing concern headquartered in Menziken, Switzerland which is specialized in producing semi-finished products and components made from aluminium.[1]

Founded 1897 by Alfred Gautschi, it was entirely owned and controlled by the Gautschi family until 2007.[2][3] Then, for seventeen years, it was a subsidiary of the Swiss industrial group Montana Tech Components.[4]

In November 2024, it was announced that the Chinese Mengtai group had acquired Alu Menziken.[5][6]
