Material Handling
Roll forming is a highly efficient metal fabrication process used to create uniform, continuous profiles for construction, automotive and industrial applications. By continuously bending metal through precision roller dies, roll forming enables high-speed, high-volume production with minimal material waste. Cold-formed steel and aluminum alloys are commonly used to enhance structural strength.
