Case Study: Metalcomp and Profilsystem for the Photovoltaic Industry

How Profilsystem Transformed Metalcomp's Manufacturing Efficiency with a Custom Solution

In the world of metal fabrication, the need to increase efficiency, save time, and reduce costs is always central to any company’s strategy. Metalcomp, operating in this sector with dedication and professionalism, recognized the need to improve its production processes to remain competitive and innovative.

The Challenge and Metalcomp’s Needs

Metalcomp faced challenges related to its use of press bending techniques. While cost-effective for small volumes, press bending became expensive and less efficient for large-scale production. As a metalworking company specializing in the design, production, assembly, and installation of industrial structures for plants, agricultural machinery, and the automotive sector, Metalcomp needed a reliable partner capable of delivering solutions aligned with its goals of efficiency, strong relationships, cost-effectiveness, reliability, and sustainability.

Additionally, the increased production volumes between Metalcomp and Profilsystem created an opportunity for a fruitful collaboration.

Transformation Through Custom Profiling

Profilsystem, with its expertise in profiling, emerged as the ideal partner. After several meetings with the Metalcomp team, Profilsystem developed a custom profile specifically designed for Metalcomp’s photovoltaic system structures. This profile, with a simple “C” shape, included a customized perforation pattern that distinguished between left and right pieces, thereby optimizing assembly efficiency.

The focus on product quality, customization, precise delivery timelines, and economic benefits were critical elements. Profilsystem applied the technique of strip pre-perforation, ensuring production characterized by precision, high-quality raw materials, extensive experience, and reduced lead times.

These factors were essential for Metalcomp, which operated under strict deadlines where delays could result in penalties.

Results and Benefits of a Successful Partnership

The result of this collaboration was a custom profile that provided Metalcomp with a competitive advantage, significantly improving production efficiency for their photovoltaic systems and enabling them to deliver an innovative, competitive product to their customers.

The real benefit, however, was the substantial cost and time savings. Thanks to Profilsystem’s profiling and strip pre-perforation techniques, Metalcomp was able to reduce costs associated with press bending and secondary perforation, achieving a significant advantage.

At Profilsystem, the philosophy is to view clients as partners with whom to grow together. This collaboration with Metalcomp is a perfect example of how commitment, innovation, and attention to specific customer needs can result in high-quality custom solutions that drive mutual success.
