Bespoke profiles

Steel profiles or metal sections in general, are used in many areas of daily life and in many different sectors. Cold-rolled profiles play a 'supporting role', not only in the construction industry but in countless other areas as well.

Mostly invisible in their function as building and construction materials, cold-rolled metal sections are also used as a design element in modern architecture.

Gebhardt-Stahl has been working closely with its customers for over 40 years. We have done this in order to produce optimum bespoke profiles for your application.

Materials

We offer profiles in galvanised steel, pickled steel, stainless steel (1.4301, 1.4404, etc.), aluminium and other non-ferrous metals.

Adaptations

Numerous processing operations such as punching, mitre cutting, deburring etc. are part of our portfolio.

Profiles

Numerous profiles such as thermally broken profiles, welded profiles, U-profiles, C-profiles, G-profiles, slotted tubes, etc.

Most common profile shapes

For many applications, it isn't necessary to develop new sections in order to generate an optimal solution. In such cases, the right profile can be selected from pre-existing, widely used profiles.

We are able to fall back on a large portfolio of common profile cross-sections. If the correct shape has not been implemented already, a small change to the cross sections of existing steel sections is usually sufficient.

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

Gebhardt-Stahl offers you more than just reinforcement profiles. Even if the production and optimisation of the reinforcement profiles are of course always in focus, there are also a number of other organisational measures or services that distinguish us as a supplier.

Therefore, we would like to give you a brief overview of the areas in which we strive to become even better for you every day:

  • Innovation and quality
  • Advice and support
  • Calculation of the profiles
  • Special variants and profiles as desired
  • Well thought out logistics
  • Fixed lengths
  • Individual bundle sizes and packaging

Custom-rolled sections

Whenever standard profiles do not fit an application or a new developed product requires a completely new profile, our specialists in the design and production team are happy to assist.

We manufacture customised profiles even in small quantities, precisely rolled according to your specifications (galvanised steel starting at approx. 4 t., stainless steel starting at approx. 2 t.).

The great flexibility offered by the roll forming process and the ability to process steel (metal) strips on our machines with thicknesses between 0.1mm and 3,5mm and widths between 30mm and 850mm allows us to produce an enormous variety of profiles. The length of the profiles - from 50mm to 12.000mm - is only limited by the storage and transport possibilities.

From the idea to the implementation of your project, Gebhardt-Stahl supports and accompanies you with the experience and expertise of over 30 years in production. Close, partnership-based cooperation with our customers in the development of the special profiles enables optimum, rapid results through the transfer of knowledge and synergy effects.

Design and construction

Our experienced team of engineers, design engineers and sales managers will advise you on the development of the optimal profile. Drawings and 3D models for the visualisation of the new profile as well as calculations (e.g. structural analysis and heat transfer) are indispensable tools. It is possible to discover and solve many problems which can arise before the production of prototypes. This saves time and money.

Toolmaking

Any necessary tools can be made at short notice. In general, the tooling costs for cold-rolled profiles are very low, compared to tooling costs in other manufacturing processes. You can benefit from a significant financial-saving potential.

Prototype production

A prototype is almost irreplaceable for checking the function. Therefore, we produce the required prototypes promptly and carry out an initial sample test with you in order to be able to make detailed adjustments if necessary. Series production only takes place after your approval for optimum results at all times.

Consistent high quality

We achieve maximum quality in raw materials through long-term cooperation with the leading steel mills and steel service centres. We process raw materials, which are characterised by:

  • Consistent technical properties (elongation at fracture, tensile strength, etc.)
  • Desired surface texture

Consistent high quality in production is guaranteed by the use of state-of-the-art machines. Continuous investments in the maintenance, servicing and modernisation of the machinery enable:

  • Exact radii
  • Minimal deviations in straightness and length
  • Precise adherence to profile contours
  • Continuous checks and readjustment
  • An optimum profile cut
  • using modern saws or shearing tools (if possible)

It goes without saying that our products are subject to continuous quality checks during and after production.

Individual packaging

The packaging of your profiles should not be underestimated. The bundled profiles can only be safely transported and stored using clean, safe packaging.Your needs and wishes are always at the focus of our considerations, from the choice of profiles, through to bundling and packaging.

  • Profile lengths according to your wishes
  • Bundling and packaging as required
Fix lengths

If you often need a profile with a certain length, ordering fix lengths is an viable option for you.You will receive the profiles accurately bundled and sawn precisely to the required lengths. You save time-consuming processing and the entire sawing process. The profiles are directly ready for further processing.

  • Profiles are stored in lengths of 6,000 mm and sawn to the desired length when requested
  • It is also possible to store fixed lengths according to specifications, for short response times
  • A clean cut
  • Cut to length every 5 or 10cm
  • Delivery on pallets
  • Low costs
Warehousing

Our storage capacities are continually being expanded in order to maintain our ability to deliver our constantly growing range of profiles in the short term.

Flexible deliveries

Thanks to our sophisticated logistics system and close cooperation with our main forwarders we are able to deliver your profiles to the desired location at short notice and on time - in Germany, in Europe or worldwide.Furthermore, certification as an authorized economic operator (AEO) underscores our many years of experience in the field of export business and customs clearance. For many years now, Gebhardt-Stahl has been a reliable business associate for our customers.In order to supply our customers overseas, our team has the experience that is necessary in the preparation and implementation of maritime transport. All of the necessary packaging and loading procedures are clarified in advance in order to ensure smooth handling.Our range of logistics services is completed by daily parcel and general cargo shipments.

MARKETS AND INDUSTRIES

At Gebhardt-Stahl, we have been working in close cooperation with our customers for over 35 years to produce the optimum special profiles for the respective application. We already manufacture thousands of different profiles for the most diverse requirements.

The industries in which we are represented with our products are as diverse as our profiles. Steel profiles or profiles made of metal are used in many areas of everyday life and in the most diverse of
different branches of industry.

Cold-rolled special profiles play a "supporting role" not only in the construction industry but also in countless other areas. Mostly invisible in their function as a building material or construction material, cold-rolled metal profiles are also used as a design element in modern architecture.

Our profiles are used, for example, in the following areas

raised floors
Underfloor heating
Shopfitting
Solar
Fastening technology
Lighting technology
Air conditioning
Gates & Doors
Container construction
Viticulture & fruit growing
