Performance advantages
Better integration
Custom profiles are designed to perfectly match the specific requirements of an application, ensuring greater compatibility with other components.
Maximum efficiency
By tailoring the customer’s technical specifications, custom profiles can improve the efficiency of the production process or final application, leading to better overall performance.
Customization
The use of unique custom-designed profiles allows companies to offer solutions that are increasingly tailored to their customers’ needs, and to stand out from their competitors.
Economic benefits
Waste reduction
Custom profiles are made by deforming the material rather than by removing it, significantly reducing raw material waste and loss.
Reduced machining time
Given the high quality levels of the profiles supplied, additional surface machining is not required for many applications.
Cost reduction
Waste reduction, combined with reduced machining, can lead to significant cost savings. Depending on the quantity, geometry and type of steel, these savings can be as much as -73% than profiles machined from a round bar.
Qualitative advantages
Better mechanical and metallurgical properties
With this forming technology, profiles feature greater strength (tensile strength and yield strength), increased hardness, increased toughness, and grain strengthening.
Excellent surface finish
The special production cycle delivers excellent surface finishing.
Tight dimensional and straightness tolerances
Special custom profiles have precise sizes and minimal tolerances which vary depending on the forming technology used.
Environmental benefits
Sustainability
Reducing raw material waste and loss ensures more sustainable resource management.
Energy efficiency
Reducing the subsequent machining operations leads to overall lower energy consumption.
Recyclability
Steel is a 100% recyclable material. The use of custom steel profiles makes end-of-life product recycling easier, contributes to a circular economy and reduces the demand for new raw materials.
