Special profiles are manufactured from steel blooms via a hot rolling process. Our range of special profiles is the most comprehensive available in the world, and we can roll profiles up to a maximum of 230kg/metre. This provides an almost infinite range of possible profile shapes – from simple profiles with non-standard dimensions, to highly complex and asymmetrical shapes.

We have roll design and machining capability to create the rolls and tooling necessary to manufacture special profiles. In most cases, the rolls and tooling developed for a customer’s profile are reserved for their use only. We develop long term relationships with customers to develop and modify the profile ranges they require.

Some special profiles are available on an 'open roll' basis (open to all customers) where there are common industry or customer requirements. Please review our product range for details.

In addition to hot rolling profiles, we also offer a range of further processing. For example, this includes cold sawing to exact bar length, shot blasting and painting, and a range of fabrication and machining operations. Please contact us for details.

• Saving time and cost by eliminating the need for fabrication work and multiple handling
• Tight dimensional tolerances, which improve accuracy compared with standard steel products
• Reduced weight, which is possible by combining asymmetric profile shapes with an appropriate steel composition
• More uniform mechanical properties, for example by eliminating heat effected zones from welding  

• A sketch or drawing showing the shape and dimensions of the profile
• Steel grade, or properties required
• An indication of volume requirements – tonnes or metres
