Your aluminium profiles specialist since 1977

The name Caralu is an abbreviation of CARrosserie ALUminium and has become an established name in the Benelux bodywork and vehicle construction industry. In the mid-1970s, aluminium profiles were increasingly being used and processed in a wide range of industrial applications. This was particularly true in the bodywork, trailer and caravan industry. Imbema Rhiwa and Aluminium Verkoop Zuid joined forces at the time and founded the trading company Caralu BV in 1977. The product range has expanded considerably over the years, but Caralu's core business is still the wide range of aluminium bodywork profiles, parts and accessories.
