About Us

Engineering-Grade OutdoorShading Solutions

From raw aluminum to finished product: one factory, one quality system, one team.

KAKADU was founded in2016Based in Foshan, China's aluminum capital, with a clear mission: to deliver engineering-grade outdoor shading solutions to a global market that deserves better than flimsy imports and overpriced brands.

Our mission is to deliver engineering-grade outdoor shading products that blend sophisticated design with structural integrity and fair factory-direct pricing — backed by a team that understands both aluminum extrusion and outdoor architecture.

KAKADU is the outdoor shading division of a vertically integrated aluminum group with an extrusion heritage dating back to1995— One of the Pearl River Delta's most established manufacturers of precision aluminum profiles for construction and facade projects worldwide. This integrated structure gives us a rare advantage among shading brands: full in-house manufacturing—from raw aluminum billet casting to profile extrusion, powder coating, and final assembly—all under one roof, with a unified quality system and dedicated team.

Vertical IntegrationFull Control

KAKADU products are manufactured at our group's integrated production campus in Nanhai, Foshan—one of the world's most concentrated aluminum industry clusters. The campus spans over200,000 square metersSpanning three facilities, it operates with a level of vertical integration uncommon in the outdoor shading industry.

The result is a supply chain where every step — alloy formulation, extrusion, surface finishing, fabrication, and final assembly — operates under a single quality management system. This means shorter lead times, full material traceability, and a product we stand behind with confidence.

What DrivesUs

Engineering First

We build products that engineers specify. Every profile is structurally engineered, every joint is tested, and every finish is rated for real-world conditions—not just photographed for a catalog.

Partnership, Not Transaction

We partner with distributors, installers, and developers for the long term. That means honest lead times, transparent pricing, responsive after-sales support, and products designed to help our partners succeed.

Built to Outlast Trends

Aluminum is infinitely recyclable. Our powder coatings are solvent-free. We craft timeless forms and build over-engineered structures because the most sustainable product is one that never needs replacing.
