Galvanized Steel Roll Forming Services
Galvanized Steel Roll Forming Services
Galvanized steel roll forming services combine continuous forming processes with zinc-coated corrosion protection, producing cost-effective metal profiles for outdoor, agricultural, and industrial applications.
Premier Products of Racine specializes in custom roll forming with galvanized steel and galvalume materials. Our 210,000-square-foot facility houses ten roll forming mills that process material in thicknesses from .010″ to 3/16″, widths up to 20″, and unlimited lengths. Since 1999, we have delivered high-quality roll formed components across diverse industries including appliances, medical devices, telecommunications, solar energy infrastructure, construction, automotive, aerospace, barbecue equipment, office furniture, tanker trucks, and cubicle systems.

Galvanized Steel Roll Forming Capabilities
Our ASTM A653 roll forming operations maintain cross-sectional tolerances of ±.008 in. and angular dimensional tolerances of ±1° or better. Straightness and twist remain accurate to less than ±.010 in. per foot. Our specialized expertise prevents white rust during storage and mitigates zinc coating scratches that compromise corrosion resistance.
Our facility utilizes several in-line processes to maximize part quality:
In-line cut-off and pre-notching.
These steps can mitigate the need for expensive secondary processes and reduces chances for handling defects.
In-line edge conditioning.
We create clean, deburred edges without the need for additional processing steps.
Embossing and Punching.
Our equipment adds identification marks, decorative patterns, or mounting holes during the primary run.
Material Versatility
Our mills handle galvanized steel, galvalume, and various pre-coated materials with equal precision. High-quality ASTM A653 roll forming requires this level of technical control.
Engineers often specify G90 galvanized roll forming for agricultural components, construction brackets, and outdoor structural channels. Choosing insufficient coating weight leads to early degradation, while over-specifying unnecessarily increases material costs.
Pre-Galvanized vs. Post-Galvanized Roll Forming
Choosing between pre-galvanized vs post-galvanized roll forming involves trade-offs in cost, precision, and protection.
The first method utilizes coil stock galvanized at the steel mill before it reaches our facility. This approach yields lower per-part costs and faster lead times. Our specialized tooling minimizes coating damage during tight-radius bending. However, sheared or punched edges expose the bare steel substrate. These edges rely on galvanic protection from surrounding zinc, which is typically effective within 1/4 in. of the coating. We recommend this version of pre-galvanized vs post-galvanized roll forming for moderately corrosive environments.
The second method requires forming parts first and then immersing them in molten zinc. This ensures complete coverage on all cut edges and internal holes. However, the high-temperature bath can cause warpage in thin-gauge profiles. High-precision projects must account for these thermal distortions. Understanding the nuances of pre-galvanized vs post-galvanized roll forming ensures the structural integrity of your final product.
Applications and Industries Served
Our services support a wide range of industrial sectors. We provide structural beams and enclosures for tanker trucks, brackets and guarding for telecommunications systems, mounting brackets and framing for solar panel installations, medical equipment, cosmetic components for appliance manufacturing, tube burners for barbecue equipment, panel holders and connectors for office furniture and cubicle systems, as well as components for aerospace, automotive, and construction applications.
Our statistical process control documentation ensures we meet customer tolerances and specifications throughout every production run.
