Roll forming machinery produces metal parts shaped to your specifications. When you're producing metal parts with roll forming equipment, you often need a whole system of equipment to roll form, punch and cut the final product in your assembly line. Find roll form machine manufacturers online to meet your business needs, whether you're looking for replacement machinery or are starting up a new production line and need a full system.

There are many options available from manufacturers that will help you find the roll forming equipment you need at a good price, including:
  1. Buy roll forming machines from a distributor selling all equipment necessary for a full roll forming system.
  2. Find a roll forming machine manufacturer that will create a customized roll forming machine to produce metal parts made to your specification.
  3. Save money and purchase a used roll forming machine.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Buy a full roll forming system online


Roll forming can be a large and complicated process, relying on a number of different machines. If you're looking to install a new roll forming system or get advice and help on retooling an old system and making it more efficient, look to a manufacturer offering all the machinery needed for a successful system.

I recommend: Roll-Kraft specializes in producing roll forming system solutions. They offer any roll forming machine you need, including mills, presses, and punches, and also provide consultation on perfecting your existing system. Custom Rollform Products specializes in metal forming systems, and sells a variety of basic systems, including roll forming machines.

Contact a manufacturer of custom roll form machinery


If you can't find a machine that fits your exact needs, you need to buy custom machinery that will create forms to your specification. Contact a roll forming machine manufacturer specializing in custom machinery.

I recommend: Roll Former Corporation manufactures machinery for residential, commercial, agricultural, and trimming and accessory applications, and will engineer custom machinery to fit your purposes. Contact them with specifications of your needs to receive a quote. Rollform of Jamestown specializes in custom roll form machines. Use the form on their website to specify details of your project, including material, thickness and length to be used and receive a response from their sales team.

Get a deal on a used roll forming machine


Roll forming machinery is large and expensive. If you need a machine but don't want to spend the money to buy a new one, contact a dealer of used or refurbished products. They'll cost less and can do the job as well as a brand new machine.

I recommend: Form Process Engineering sells both new and used roll forming equipment, specializing in systems for industrial, agricultural, commercial, and residential applications. See their website for a full list of rebuilt machinery available. LOCATOR Services has listings of hundreds of used roll forming machines from machinery distributors throughout the country.
