With over 75 years knowledge, experience and technical expertise of cold roll forming, Metsec is ideally placed to help support our customers by offering tailored solutions to satisfy almost any requirement.<\/p>\n<p>The roll forming process can not only manufacture typical shaped sections such as Channel, Angle, Boxes and Round tube but is also able to form more complex profiles required for demanding technical solutions. The ability to form complex shapes also gives the designer manufacturing options other than more traditional type processes such as press or press braking to form a product.<\/p>\n<p>Metsec provide bespoke and standard metal profiles in gauges from 0.5mm up to 6mm thick, with irregularly shaped welded tubes a speciality. These tailor-made profiles can be manufactured from steel, aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel and even pre-painted material<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage of roll forming is that stress caused when bending materials too quickly can be avoided. From the initial roll tooling design the process undergoes a full <a href=\"http:\/\/metsec-company.staging.superdreamdev.co.uk\/products-and-services\/custom-roll-forming\/technical-expertise\/in-house-development\/\">Finite Element Analysis<\/a> to ensure that the product is produced exactly to our customers design without inherent weaknesses. Overall the reduction of unwanted material stresses can be avoided by intelligent design and the gradual continuous forming process<\/p>\n<p>Through many years of experience we have designed our equipment to be innovative and adaptable. By offering further benefits to our customer such as<a
