Roll Forming
Cold roll forming technology for high-precision metal profiles
Cold roll forming allows metal strips to be shaped at room temperature through a progressive and controlled roll forming process. This process transforms metal strips without heating the material, ensuring high dimensional accuracy and consistent quality throughout production.
Roll forming makes it possible to process strips with thicknesses from 0.5 to 5 mm, lengths up to 27,000 mm, and heights up to 100 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. Controlled cold deformation helps preserve—and in some cases enhance—the mechanical properties of steel, ensuring strength, stability, and uniformity of the finished profile.
Thanks to Profilsystem’s technical expertise and innovative capabilities, roll forming technology enables the production of complex cross-sections, optimized thickness profiles, and articulated or variable-height geometries, often not achievable with traditional manufacturing methods. This approach reduces secondary operations, increases production efficiency, and delivers tangible cost optimization.

Advantages of cold roll forming
Cold roll forming offers numerous benefits in terms of quality, productivity and process sustainability:
- High precision and repeatability: production of uniform and consistent profiles over time, with tight tolerances ensured by progressive roll deformation.
- Material optimization: reduced waste, improved use of raw materials, and preservation of steel’s mechanical properties, resulting in enhanced strength and durability.
- Design flexibility: the ability to produce customized profiles, complex sections, and dedicated geometries, improving productivity and design freedom.
Cold roll forming is particularly suitable for medium to large production runs, starting from approximately 2,000 meters, and allows additional operations to be integrated directly in-line, such as perforation, slotting, embossing and marking. The result is a highly competitive process, featuring reduced lead times, optimized costs, and profiles ready for integration into the customer’s production cycles.
Cold roll forming, carried out through a roll forming process, allows metal strips to be shaped at room temperature through a progressive and controlled deformation.
