Metform Launches Roll Forming Machine Retrofit Program for Solar Initiatives

Sept. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- By incorporating additional production capabilities the unit was able to produce solar mounting systems by adding a cost effective “front end” to a roll form line which included necessary prepunching of all key notch and mounting features  for the structural solar sections.  A critical component that the refurbished unit required was flexibility and to have the ability turn around large orders on tight delivery schedules.

“As veterans in the metal bending business we wanted to combine our structural manufacturing expertise and refurbishment know-how to help our customers produce solar profiles.  By refurbishing these units, customers can now utilize existing lines that once manufactured metal building materials to also produce solar sections and maximize  production capabilities from their existing lines.  We know it’s a competitive market for our customers and jobs are won and lost based on creatively utilizing existing assets.” said Mark Volkmann, Metform International President.

Metform’s global team of in-house experts partnered with organizations in various industries namely in the automotive sector where the company has gained global notoriety in developing new profiles working extensively with their customers and ensuring they have products that utilize good design for manufacture (DFM) practices and techniques.
