Cold-formed open sections – build up your productivity

Choose from a nearly endless variety of custom or standard grades (up to S900 steel) and shapes to get the perfect fit for your application. Our cold-formed open sections are used in construction, lifting and handling, heavy transportation, automotive, railway, agriculture, energy and other sectors.

With the right match, you get only what you need. This means you can use less steel yet still maintain structural integrity in critical areas, and spend less money on your next project. For each unit of weight you save by using stronger yet lighter steel profiles, you’ll not only make transportation easier and less costly but improve your environmental footprint.
