TAYLOR-MADE PROFILES
Bespoke steel profile manufacturing
Custom steel profiles: tailor-made solutions for ambitious projects
Custom steel profiles, engineered to drawing, meet the highest standards of strength, aesthetics, and adaptability fundamental qualities for architecture, industry, and design. Formed from sheet metal coils using cold-forming technology, these profiles can feature open or closed cross-sections, depending on the project’s specific structural or decorative requirements. Thanks to our technical expertise and attention to detail, unique components can be produced to fit both structural and architectural applications.
Cold-rolled steel profiles
Roll forming, stamping, punching, and bending
The production of custom steel sections, including complex geometries and surface finishes, provides durable, flexible solutions across multiple sectors. Through cold roll forming, stamping, punching, bending, and calendering, we manufacture high-performance components with precise tolerances and strict quality control.
Cold roll forming
Cold roll forming, also known as roll forming, involves passing a steel strip through a series of rollers that gradually deform the material into the desired final shape. This process ensures high dimensional precision and excellent repeatability. It reduces waste through continuous and automated operation and allows for the production of a wide range of profiles with open, closed, or shaped sections.
Cold stamping
Cold stamping uses presses equipped with dies to form more complex three-dimensional shapes, often featuring pronounced folds or ribs. It is a highly effective solution when large series of parts need to be produced, combining high productivity with the ability to achieve remarkable levels of detail in the resulting geometries.
Punching
Punching makes it possible to create holes, slots or openings of various shapes directly in the steel sheet, often combined with roll forming or stamping. Thanks to this process, semi-finished parts come ready for future fixings, cable passages or attachment systems, reducing time and improving efficiency during assembly and installation phases.
Bending
Bending is performed using specific machines such as calenders or folding systems, to achieve profiles with constant or variable curves. This step adds further design flexibility, making it possible to create architectural or structural elements with smooth lines, precise radius control and perfect repeatability of the result.
The advantages of custom steel profiles
The raw material used for manufacturing profiles is stainless steel sheet, supplied in coils. Stainless steel is available in different grades (e.g. AISI 304, 316, 430, etc.) depending on the required mechanical strength, workability and surface finish. The coil is slit to the necessary width to obtain the desired profile dimensions, ensuring maximum flexibility in terms of geometry and technical specifications.
Steel, in all its forms (corten, stainless, brushed), guarantees high performance and reliability even under heavy loads or in aggressive environments.
Variants such as corten steel and stainless steel minimize maintenance thanks to their natural corrosion resistance.
The flexibility of cold-forming processes allows the creation of complex geometries and surface finishes that meet both technical and aesthetic requirements.
Automated production combined with waste reduction makes manufacturing costs competitive, even for large volumes.
Available solutions include not only traditional carbon steels, but also special variants and high-grade alloys tailored to specific design needs.
Corten, for example, naturally develops a protective surface patina that makes it especially resistant to weathering while providing a warm, distinctive look.
Stainless steel, on the other hand, is preferred in environments requiring high hygienic standards or corrosion resistance, thanks to its alloying elements such as chromium.
Brushed stainless steel, with its elegant and low-maintenance finish, is ideal for architectural and design applications. The range also includes pickled steel profiles, treated to ensure a clean, oxide-free surface ready for coating or further processing. Finally, special aluminum profiles offer a lightweight and durable alternative, ideal for industries seeking reduced structural weight or complex profile shapes.
Fields of application
Custom steel profiles manufactured by Sika are used in a wide range of sectors thanks to their combination of strength, flexibility and visual appeal. In construction and metal structures, they are used to build load-bearing frameworks, frames and railings, ensuring stability and safety even under heavy loads. In urban furniture and interior design, stainless or brushed steel profiles add a modern and refined touch, blending seamlessly into both public and private spaces. For applications exposed to intense external stress, such as walkways or outdoor installations, corten steel is the ideal solution, as it naturally forms a protective patina that enhances both aesthetics and long-term durability.
