Cold-formed profiles: materials
Cold-formed metals from coils for custom special profiles
For the production of cold-formed profiles, Sika carefully selects the most durable and reliable metals available on the market. Every step of our process is designed to ensure maximum durability and optimal performance of cold-rolled profiles and stamped components. Reliability, strength, and a focus on quality are the cornerstones of our reputation, guaranteeing robust solutions even for the most demanding industrial needs.
Thanks to a wide range of technical solutions, Sika produces unique custom and special profiles by selecting the most suitable metal for each client’s specific requirements and application field. This flexibility allows us to deliver the right material, reducing costs and optimizing final results.
Stainless steel
A material known for its excellent mechanical performance and high resistance to oxidation.
Carbon steel
Widely used in structural and mechanical applications, carbon steel combines high strength with cost efficiency. It’s suitable for most industrial sectors.
Corten steel
Also known as weathering steel, it forms a natural protective patina that makes it ideal for outdoor structures exposed to the elements.
Stainless steel
Known for its superior mechanical strength and oxidation resistance. Suitable for environments requiring durability and hygiene.
Aluminum
Lightweight and resistant to corrosion, it’s ideal for components where weight reduction is a key factor.
Copper
Copper is conductive and ductile, while brass is valued in technical and decorative applications due to its versatility and aesthetics.
Custom processing
Cold roll forming and cold stamping are two of Sika’s core strengths, enabling us to produce custom profiles with precise geometries and high-performance characteristics.
From the controlled deformation of sheet metal, performed progressively to preserve its mechanical properties, to automated punching that allows for specific holes, slots, and shaped cut-outs, every step in the process is managed with meticulous attention to detail.
Applications
Our special custom profiles find use in a variety of industries: from construction to infrastructure, automotive to furniture, renewable energy to parking systems, and even industry and agriculture with vineyard poles.
