Premium architectural aluminum solutions optimized for structural integrity, visual continuity, and thermal performance in Togolese developments.
The Republic of Togo, particularly its dynamic capital Lomé, is witnessing a significant commercial real estate and infrastructure renaissance. As the commercial gateway of the ECOWAS region, the demand for modern, energy-efficient corporate headquarters, high-rise office towers, and luxury hospitality structures is growing rapidly. Architectural curtain walls have become the standard for these landmark structures, combining aesthetic brilliance with functional performance.
However, designing and supplying curtain walls for coastal West Africa presents specific meteorological challenges. Lomé's climate is characterized by high relative humidity, constant marine salt spray, intense solar radiation, and variable tropical wind loads. Standard structural glazing solutions are insufficient; architectural envelopes must be specifically designed to resist coastal atmospheric corrosion while mitigating solar heat gain to lower cooling costs.
Our structural profiles utilize high-performance 6063-T5/T6 architectural aluminum alloy. Treated with specialized PVDF (Fluorocarbon) or high-micron Class 20/25 anodized finishes, they offer superior corrosion resistance to protect building envelopes against marine salinization and wind-driven rain.
Tested to ASTM B117 salt spray standards, our PVDF coating and Class 25 anodized finishes prevent pit corrosion and degradation caused by Lomé's saline coastal atmosphere.
Equipped with polyamide thermal barrier strips, our systems effectively isolate exterior tropical heat, dramatically reducing indoor HVAC consumption.
Established in 2009, Aoli Aluminum is a vertically integrated manufacturer specializing in the research, development, extrusion, and deep CNC processing of architectural and industrial aluminum alloy profiles. Headquartered in Sihui, Guangdong, with sales and engineering operations in Foshan, we operate under a rigorous ISO-compliant quality management system.
"Our mission is building sustainable cities for the world. Committed to achieving a win-win situation for employees, customers, and society has always been our business vision."
Under our flagship brand "Aolijie", we run 4 state-of-the-art production bases equipped with extrusion equipment ranging from 900 tons to 2,000 tons. This permits the production of high-precision curtain wall components, thermal break window/door profiles, and structural frame elements designed to international standards.
Expert structural guidelines to ensure longevity, safety, and compliance with Togolese and regional West African building codes.
Coastal Togo experiences fluctuating convective wind pressures. All structural profiles undergo structural deflection analysis to withstand wind pressure coefficients up to 1.8 kPa or higher, depending on the building height and localization.
Structural Standard: BS EN 1991 (Eurocode 1)To reduce solar heat transmittance (SHGC) under West Africa's direct sun, we integrate high-performance glass with glass curtain walls that feature structural thermal breaks (polyamide PA66 GF25), preventing interior thermal bridging.
U-Value Target: < 2.0 W/(m²·K)For semi-unitized or invisible frame configurations, the structural silicone bonding must resist long-term UV radiation, thermal expansion stress, and coastal humidity, ensuring structural integrity over a 25+ year lifecycle.
Bonding Spec: ASTM C1184 CompliantAoli Aluminum provides a complete design-to-production workflow for standard and custom curtain wall solutions. We operate advanced production lines, including powder coating, anodizing, electrophoretic coating, PVDF coating, and wood-grain finish processes.
In addition to architectural profiles, we provide deep precision CNC processing to deliver ready-to-assemble units directly to Togolese project sites. This includes precision cutting, punching, milling, and assembly of structural gaskets and connectors.
Our product lines include more than 100 series and over 1,000 architectural specifications, allowing us to supply large-scale mixed-use developments, residential complexes, and public infrastructure projects across Togo.
Tracing the evolution of the "Aolijie" brand from a regional extrusion factory to a global architectural facade partner.
Our standard aluminum profile factory was established in Sihui City, Guangdong Province, spanning 10,000 square meters. The "Aolijie" brand was introduced to serve high-grade architectural and industrial markets.
We obtained ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 environmental management certifications alongside 13 custom architectural product patents, laying the groundwork for international projects.
To support global supply partnerships, we expanded our production footprint with a 100,000 square meter facility, scaling capacity to 100,000 tons annually.
We established our dedicated global sales hub in Foshan and are expanding with regional sales agents to provide direct logistics and on-site engineering consultations to West African and Southeast Asian clients.
Quality is the core of our manufacturing philosophy. Every profile batch undergoes thorough quality testing based on ISO 2859 and ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 standards. We perform 100% visual inspections and random AQL sampling to verify dimensional tolerances, coating thickness, and structural integrity.
Comprehensive Documentation: We provide full chemical and mechanical mill certificates, coating thickness reports, and quality test documentation with every shipment.

For projects within 5-10 kilometers of the coastline in Lomé, we recommend PVDF (fluorocarbon) coating (minimum 2 or 3 coats, meeting AAMA 2605 standards) or Class 25 clear/colored anodizing. These surface treatments offer superior resistance to marine salt spray, preventing pitting corrosion, surface chalking, and UV-induced degradation common in coastal West Africa.
We work closely with local structural engineers and project consultants. Our engineering team provides custom structural calculations for mullion and transom deflection based on local wind load requirements (typically evaluated up to 1.8-2.5 kPa). We provide full CAD shop drawings and 3D step files for integration into regional structural models.
Extrusion and surface treatment typically take 20 to 30 days, depending on custom profile requirements. Ocean transit from Shenzhen or Nansha port to the Autonomous Port of Lomé (Port Autonome de Lomé) takes approximately 35 to 45 days. We offer export packaging, including protective film wrapping, wooden crates, and steel pallet loading to prevent transit damage.
Yes. Togo experiences high tropical temperatures year-round. Integrating structural polyamide thermal barriers (PA66 GF25) within aluminum frames significantly limits heat transfer. This system reduces solar heat gain, lowering cooling costs and making HVAC operations in commercial buildings more efficient.
Our systems comply with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, and CE standards. Materials are tested according to GB/T 5237 (Chinese National Standard for Architectural Aluminum Profiles), which aligns with European Qualicoat and Qualanod standards, ensuring high mechanical properties and finish longevity.
