3 Voestalpine PROFILFORM belongs among the leading producers of thin-walled cold-rolled sections in the Czech Republic. It supplies the PURLIN SYSTEMS METSEC on the markets in the Central Europe and Russia. These SYSTEMS are used as secondary steel frames in the hall constructions. We focus on the precise production with technical support and supplies "in time". Our objective is to provide an excellent service and quality product, which offers an efficient solution of hall frames to the PURLIN SYSTEMS METSEC The system offers a wide range of Z - section design for the provision of optimum structural solutions of modern roof Side rails SYSTEMS METSEC The system offers a wide range of C or Z - sections designed for the provision of optimum structural solutions of modern wall frames.

The maximum PURLIN span is up to meters. Stronger purlins are placed in outer bays and weaker ones in inner bays. The PURLIN joints on the next-to-last frames are reinforced by the sleeves of the same section as the purlins of outer bays and they are longer than standard sleeves. All the joints of inner purlins are reinforced by standard sleeves of the same section as the purlins of the inner mentioned above: purlins of inner bays are in double span lengths in the maximum version of length of 15 the buildings with two or more bays where it is not possible to use the system.
