Profilsystem - Special steel profiles

What Profilsystem - Special steel profiles does

Profilsystem S.r.l. is an Italian private limited company (S.r.l.) founded in 1990 by Guido Torreggiani and Donato Santinami and headquartered in Asola, Mantova, specializing in the design and production of custom cold-rolled special steel profiles. The company operates from a single integrated facility in Lombardy and runs a tightly held family business now in its second generation (Giacomo, Filippo, Federica, and Elisa Torreggiani). Its core technology is cold roll forming (profilatura a freddo), which progressively shapes metal strips at room temperature through roller formers, supported by CAD design tools (AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor) and a proprietary digital simulation software currently in development for process validation. Profilsystem produces commercial profiles (U, Omega, C, L shapes) and 100% custom-drawn profiles across carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and Corten, with thicknesses from 0.5 to 5 mm, lengths up to 27,000 mm, heights up to 100 mm, and tolerances down to ±0.3 mm.

The company's manufacturing platform comprises seven integrated processes: cold roll forming, large thickness processing (up to 4 mm), strip perforation with photo-cellular precision, advanced joining techniques (crimping, clinching, laser welding), in-line marking, precision cutting, and plastic coating. Around 80% of production is dedicated to complex custom-designed profiles, with more than 2,000 unique profile geometries created cumulatively since founding. Application-specific products include galvanized steel reinforcements for PVC window and door systems (supplied to Kömmerling, Salamander, Veka, Rehau, Schücco, Alphacan, Aluplast, Oknoplast) and ground-mounted photovoltaic mounting structures (co-developed with Metalcomp). Additional served verticals include warehousing/logistics, industrial vehicles, metal furniture, security doors, naval, prefabricated construction, conveyor systems, and mounting brackets.

Profilsystem operates a sales-led, direct go-to-market targeting enterprise and mid-market industrial buyers on project-based pricing with quote-based terms and minimum order quantities from 1,000 kg to 4,000 kg depending on material. Delivery cycles run approximately 30–45 days per order following a 2–3 day quotation process. The company holds UNI EN ISO 9001 and UNI EN ISO 1090 quality certifications, plus AutoCAD certification, and markets itself through its multilingual website, technical blog, and earned media coverage. There are no disclosed funding rounds, revenue figures, or institutional investors; the company is a bootstrapped, family-controlled operating business serving a diversified set of European industrial OEMs.

Core offering

Profilsystem designs and manufactures custom steel profiles using cold roll forming technology, shaping metal strips at room temperature through progressive roll deformation. The company produces both standard commercial profiles (U, Omega, C, L shapes) and bespoke profiles tailored to customer specifications, with integrated secondary processing including perforation, joining, cutting, marking, and plastic coating. The offering spans thicknesses from 0.5 to 5 mm, lengths up to 27,000 mm, and tolerances as tight as ±0.3 mm.

Product overview

Profilsystem is a specialist in the design and production of custom steel profiles made from cold-rolled strips since 1990. The company offers two main product lines: Commercial Profiles (standard U, Omega, C, and L shapes) and Custom-designed Profiles (100% tailored to customer specifications). Production is supported by seven core manufacturing processes: Profile Rolling, Large Thicknesses, Perforation, Joining Techniques, Marking, Cutting, and Plastic Coating. The company also produces application-specific profiles for PVC windows (galvanized steel reinforcements) and photovoltaic systems (ground-mounted structures). The portfolio includes profiles in carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and Corten steel, with dimensional tolerances as tight as ±0.3mm.
