Scope
We offer one of the world’s largest ranges of
perforation patterns, from traditional round
and square holes to decorative and complex
shapes. Our tools are manufactured and
maintained by our own tooling department.
When there is a demand for specific tooling,
we can develop this for you.
Equipment
Our production sites use “State of the Art
machinery”, able to manufacture the full
spectrum of perforated products. No job is
too big, and none are too small.

The load table shows the weight allowable including safety factors in kilos / sq. m. mentioned as evenly dispersed (distributed) load.
Underlined load corresponds to the weight of a person with tools (around 100 kilos) in the middle of the footbridge.
The load table applies to sheets welded or buckled on the abutment. The abutment and the fastening to it is to be calculated sepa-
rately.
