Our Rolling Services
Plate Rolling
We specialize in rolling steel, aluminum, and stainless steel plates into precise cylindrical or conical shapes. Using advanced plate rolling machinery, we ensure accurate diameters and uniform curves for tanks, pipes, and structural components. Our process guarantees consistency and a smooth finish, making it suitable for both industrial and custom fabrication projects, providing strength and functionality while meeting project specifications.
Section Rolling
Our section rolling services allow for shaping structural beams, angles, and channels into curves and arches without compromising structural integrity. We can produce large-radius bends, spirals, and custom profiles using specialized equipment. Our team carefully monitors material stress and thickness to ensure precise results. This service is ideal for architectural elements, bridges, and complex structural applications.
Roll Forming
Roll forming is perfect for producing uniform metal components in large quantities. We use continuous rollers to gradually shape sheet metal into specific profiles, ensuring high precision, repeatability, and minimal waste. Our expertise in roll forming accommodates various materials and thicknesses, enabling the production of roof panels, gutters, and custom profiles for commercial and industrial applications.
CNC Rolling
We employ CNC-controlled rolling machines to achieve complex, highly accurate curves and angles in metal sheets and plates. This technology allows us to program specific roll paths, ensuring repeatability and precision for every project. CNC rolling is ideal for tight tolerances, intricate designs, and large-scale industrial applications where consistent quality is essential.
Tube and Pipe Rolling
Our tube and pipe rolling services create curved or coiled pipes and tubing for industrial, structural, and architectural applications. We handle a range of diameters and thicknesses, ensuring smooth curves and proper alignment. Our process reduces material stress and maintains structural integrity, delivering durable, high-quality components for fluid transport, structural frameworks, and mechanical systems.
Custom Rolling Solutions
We provide tailored rolling solutions to meet unique project requirements, including specialized materials, complex geometries, and specific dimensional tolerances. Our experienced fabricators work closely with clients to design and implement solutions that achieve both functionality and aesthetic appeal. From small-scale prototypes to large industrial components, our custom rolling services guarantee precision, durability, and reliability.
Benefits of Professional Rolling Services
Enhanced Structural Integrity
Precision rolling strengthens metal components by evenly distributing stress throughout curved surfaces. This reduces the risk of cracks or deformation under heavy loads, providing durable, long-lasting parts suitable for structural and industrial applications. Uniform stress distribution ensures safety, performance, and reliability over the life of the component.
Superior Accuracy and Consistency
Professional rolling ensures precise curves and dimensions that meet project specifications. Accurate and consistent rolling reduces errors during assembly and fabrication, streamlining project timelines. High-quality results also minimize material waste, saving costs while maintaining uniformity across multiple components in industrial and commercial applications.
Versatility Across Materials
Rolling services can be applied to a wide variety of metals, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. This versatility allows the fabrication of components with different mechanical and aesthetic properties. It also enables adaptation to diverse industries, from heavy machinery and automotive to architecture and energy, ensuring comprehensive application solutions.
Improved Surface Quality
Expert rolling minimizes surface imperfections, producing smooth, aesthetically pleasing finishes. This enhances both appearance and functionality, reducing the need for secondary processing like grinding or polishing. Smooth surfaces also improve corrosion resistance and extend component lifespan, particularly in outdoor or industrial environments.
Cost-Effective Manufacturing
Professional rolling reduces material waste, lowers labor costs, and streamlines production. By achieving precise curves and consistent dimensions in one process, fabrication efficiency improves. This cost-effectiveness is particularly beneficial for large-scale projects, high-volume production, or complex industrial components requiring minimal rework.
Customization and Flexibility
Rolling services allow for tailored solutions that meet unique project requirements. Custom shapes, radii, and diameters can be achieved to match specific design parameters. This flexibility enables innovation in architectural designs, machinery components, and structural frameworks, supporting specialized projects without compromising quality or functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of metals can be rolled?
We roll various metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and specialty alloys. Each material requires specific techniques and equipment to ensure precise curves and consistent quality. Our team evaluates material properties before processing to achieve optimal results in any application.
How thick of a metal sheet can you roll?
We can roll metal sheets and plates ranging from thin-gauge aluminum to thick steel plates several inches thick. Using advanced rolling machinery, we ensure uniform curvature and maintain structural integrity regardless of thickness. Precision and experience are key to achieving high-quality results.
Can you roll tubes and pipes into custom curves?
Yes, we specialize in tube and pipe rolling, accommodating various diameters and thicknesses. Our techniques produce smooth, precise bends while maintaining alignment and structural integrity. Custom curves for mechanical, structural, and architectural applications are achievable with professional rolling equipment.
Is CNC rolling better than traditional rolling?
CNC rolling provides higher precision, repeatability, and the ability to create complex curves. Traditional rolling is suitable for simpler shapes and standard profiles. CNC technology ensures tight tolerances and consistent quality, particularly in industrial and commercial applications that require exact specifications.
How does rolling affect the strength of metal?
Proper rolling evenly distributes stress across curved sections, enhancing structural strength and reducing the risk of deformation. Rolling, when performed by professionals, does not weaken the material, ensuring the final components maintain their intended load-bearing capabilities and long-term durability.
Do you offer rolling for large-scale projects?
Yes, we can handle large plates, beams, and tubes for industrial and structural applications. Our machinery accommodates substantial dimensions, while skilled operators maintain precision. Large-scale projects benefit from experience, advanced equipment, and meticulous planning during the rolling process.
How long does a rolling project typically take?
