I am looking to start an aluminum shutter business in south america and I was looking for some pointers. I am completely new at this so my questions are going to be a little basic but if someone could just point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. I am still debating whether to import them from other shutter companies and just go about it like that or try to do it all my self finding the parts/materials and putting it all together here. I was wondering if there are any companies that make strong aluminum slats. If not then what machines would be necessary to make them or when could I find them. Thanx
