The name ZOLLERN ISOPROFIL stands for customer-specific steel profiles produced using latest production processes and distributed by the ZOLLERN plants in Mannheim and Laucherthal near Sigmaringen.
Secure a competitive edge through the use of steel profiles
- Up to 60% material savings as a result of optimum adjustment of the profile geometry to the specific design requirement
- Shorter machining times
- Lower tooling costs
- Fewer environmentally damaging materials such as coolants and chips contaminated with coolants
- Minimal distortion of the type caused by complex machining processes
- Longer service life due to favourable fibre flow line of components manufactured from hot and cold formed special profiles.
- High load capacity of strain-hardened surfaces when subjected to sliding stress and surface pressure

How cost effective a profile can be manufactured and further processed is already decided at its design stage - To create optimal solutions, it is beneficial for the user and manufacturer to clarify the requirements and technical specifications of the design at the development stage.
Important factors here are:
- Knowledge of the requirements imposed on the component
- Selection of material
- Qualitative characteristics
- Strength characteristics
- Condition of treatment
- Shape and dimensional tolerances
- Surface condition
- Type of further processing
Materials such as structural steels, case-hardening and free-cutting steel, tempered, nitrided, tool and roller bearing steel, as well as stainless steel and high temperature alloys are used.
ZOLLERN - STEEL PROFILES can be supplied in the following forms:
- Hot rolled
- Cold drawn
- Heat-treated in inert gas atmosphere
- Shot blasted
- Galvanically surface treated
- Inductively surface hardened
- Machined or as ready-to-mount components
