When Erik – known on Social Media as Alu Löffel – picks up the welding equipment, it’s immediately clear: this is someone working with heart, skill and genuine expertise. His passion is metal – especially aluminium, so much so that he even incorporated it into his professional name (“Alu” meaning aluminium in German, and “Löffel” meaning spoon – a playful nod to his surname). For more than ten years, he has been demonstrating what can be achieved when craftsmanship, precision and enthusiasm come together
What began with repair welding in the classic car sector has grown into much more: in his workshop, through hands-on courses and online, Erik shares his knowledge of modern metalworking – authentic and direct. Over 60,000 people follow him on Instagram and more than 30,000 on YouTube. They value his honest approach, perfectionism and meticulous attention to detail.
This is exactly what connects us at BIKAR METALS with him. We, too, are guided by quality – from the careful selection of our materials to their delivery to customers.
With our wide range of high-quality aluminium semi-finished products and accompanying services, we are the ideal partner for Alu Löffel’s projects. Our materials provide the foundation; his craftsmanship brings them to life.
What comes out of the collaboration between Alu Löffel and BIKAR:
- Short videos, how-tos and posts with clear practical relevance
- Topics like suitable alloys and their weldability, proper preparation and safe handling
- Insights that benefit purchasing, production and quality assurance alike
In the first video, Erik takes us along for the construction of a DJ booth made of aluminium – from material selection to the finished one-of-a-kind piece.
