About Wickeder Profile Walzwerk
Wickeder Profile Walzwerk GmbH (WPW) manufactures cold-rolled steel profiles: open special profiles as well as HF-welded profiles, round and square tubes to EN 10305-3/EN 10305-5. Input materials are hot-rolled strip, cold-rolled strip, stainless steel and surface-finished strip, including galvanized steels, zinc-magnesium and aluminum-zinc alloy coatings, and high-strength special grades. Cold forming, i.e. roll forming, takes place at room temperature without additional heating; wall thicknesses from 0.4 to 8.0 mm, strip widths from 15 to 475 mm and profile lengths up to 25,000 mm are possible. Secondary processing such as cutting to fixed lengths, process-integrated punching, embossing, clinching, Tox fastening, welding, milled recesses and profile bending are offered to customer specification; design and toolmaking are carried out in-house. With 21 roll forming lines, 4 of them high-frequency welding lines, and an annual capacity of over 75,000 tonnes, WPW supplies industries such as solar, construction and agriculture, storage and conveyor technology, machinery and plant engineering, automotive, and livestock barn construction. Headquarters are in Wickede (Ruhr); further production sites are Anröchte and the subsidiaries in Iserlohn and Troisdorf.

Materials and Processes
Hot-rolled strip (pickled)
Classic strip steel for open and welded profiles, partly available from stock.
Cold-rolled strip
Used for thin-walled profiles from a material thickness of 0.4 mm.
Stainless steel
For corrosion-exposed applications such as barn equipment and mounting rails.
Galvanized strip steel (at least S220G+Z)
Basis for awning profiles with durable surface protection.
Zinc-magnesium alloy coating
High-quality corrosion protection for solar and ventilation profiles.
Aluminum-zinc alloy coating
Surface finish for mounting and support systems.
High-strength special grades
For load-bearing profiles in the storage, conveyor and construction industries.
Steel grades for precision tubes
Round and square tubes in various steel grades.
Painted/coated input material
Enables higher levels of pre-fabrication and leaner production processes.
