8020 is the brand name; IIRC, they sell at a flat price, which is fantastic if you need a fixture designed (they don't charge NRE, flat price is flat), but ludicrous if you just need a few pieces or are designing it yourself. ;D

In the UK depending on where you are you could try this mob https://ooznest.co.uk/ They sell all the bits and custom cut extrusions.

I've used Minitec, they've got design tool and the local reseller helps with designs and sends profiles cut to measure with all the other parts
