Please help me to find a SELF DRILLING screw to fix aluminium(3mm THK) to aluminium (3mm THK). The screw fixed inside a 12mm groove so we cant insert hexagonal socket .The Max Head size is 9-10mm Only and Pan head or Philips head preferred .

Please suggest some world class screw manufacturers.

ITW has a wide range of self drilling screws. I don't know offhand if they have what you are after, but that's where I would start.
 
I second Buildex. Last time I checked, however, they did not have a screw for aluminum attachments. (a few years ago)
 
I'd take a drive down to my local fastener shop and ask them. Take a sample of the extrusion with you.
