MPA300
Hybrid Roll Former
From Steel Framing to Purlins
In today’s competitive construction landscape, especially in cold formed steel industry, manufacturers and contractors are under constant pressure to deliver more with less — tighter deadlines, reduced costs, and smaller factory footprints. But what if one roll former could do it all?
The MPA300 by SFS International is more than just a roll forming machine — it’s a true hybrid system.
With a production capacity that covers both framing and purlin components, it’s more than typical multi-profile roll forming or purlin roll forming machine. It enables the manufacturing of C and U profiles from 75 mm to 305 mm web size, and material thicknesses up to 3.20 mm.
From residential wall panels and steel stud framing to industrial roof trusses and floor cassettes, the MPA300 helps you eliminate multiple production lines — while simplifying your process and maximizing ROI.
Designed for flexibility – Engineered for efficiency.
The MPA300 is your all-in-one solution for cold formed steel framing and purlin production.
MPA300 Capabilities That Drive Real-World Results
The MPA300 is engineered to meet the complex requirements of both steel framing and purlin roll forming operations. With its high-capacity profile range, automated adjustments, and precision punching, it stands out among advanced roll forming machine manufacturers.
Here’s a closer look at the technical performance that makes MPA300 a versatile solution for light gauge steel construction:

Top Reasons to Invest in the MPA300
Investing in roll former often means dedicating a machine to each structural component. But with the MPA300 developed by SFS International, manufacturers can consolidate their production with a single hybrid system — streamlining operations, reducing overhead, and achieving faster ROI.
The real reason many customers choose the MPA300 is its unique balance of cost, quality, and customization. Unlike many entry-level machines on the market, the MPA300 delivers robust production capacity at an accessible investment level, while still offering flexibility for tailored solutions. This makes it the preferred option for manufacturers who want reliability and adaptability without overspending.
A real-world example:
One of our customers, a mid-sized construction supplier, previously relied on three separate lines to handle residential wall panels, floor joists, and purlins. Each profile change meant hours of downtime and additional labor. After switching to the MPA300 hybrid roll forming machine, they consolidated everything into a single line — increased productivity dramastically and freeing up valuable factory space. For them, it wasn’t just about the machine — it was about transforming their entire operation.
Key Advantages of the MPA300 Roll Former
MPA300 simplifies operations by combining framing and purlin production in a single roll former — giving manufacturers clear advantages such as:
- Eliminate the need for multiple machines: Produce a wide range of profiles — including both framing and purlin sections — with one hybrid line.
- Reduce operator dependency: Automated adjustments minimize manual intervention, improving operator experience, reducing training demands and operational risk.
- Achieve cost-effective production compared to competitors: The MPA300 offers more reasonable pricing without compromising performance against its competitors. Contact us today to request your tailored quotation.
- Maintain high-quality output in every project: Precision engineering, sensitive tolerances and robust components ensure consistent part accuracy, even under demanding cycles.
- Customize the system to match your exact requirements: Adjust web, flange, lip and punching options, or add optional modules to fit your factory layout and project scope.

1. What advantages does a hybrid roll forming machine offer to manufacturers?
A hybrid roll forming machine allows manufacturers to produce both steel framing and purlin sections on a single line. This reduces the need for multiple machines, cuts factory space requirements, and accelerates return on investment.
2. How does a purlin roll forming machine improve structural projects?
A purlin roll forming machine ensures precise dimensions and consistent strength across every section. This accuracy enhances load-bearing capacity, reduces deflection, and improves long-term performance of structural steel systems.
3. Why do manufacturers choose a roll former instead of traditional fabrication methods?
A roll former delivers speed, repeatability, and efficiency that manual or semi-automated fabrication cannot match. Manufacturers gain higher throughput, less material waste, and better consistency in cold formed steel production.
4. How does steel framing benefit from automated roll forming?
Automated roll formers streamline steel framing production by adjusting web, flange, and lip sizes without manual setup. This saves time, reduces operator dependency, and ensures precise fit across wall panels and joists. In addition, reduced operator dependency improves overall safety — minimizing manual interventions lowers the risk of errors and workplace accidents.
5. What makes a roll forming machine cost-effective for contractors and production managers?
SFS roll forming machines minimize downtime thanks to its quality with automated size adjustments, reduce labor costs, and support multiple profiles on one system. These factors make them more cost-effective.
6. Can the MPA300 be customized for specific project requirements?
Yes. The MPA300 is highly customizable — manufacturers can adjust web, flange, and lip dimensions, integrate custom punching setups. This flexibility ensures the machine adapts seamlessly to residential, commercial, or industrial cold formed steel projects.
7. How do hybrid roll formers support cold formed steel construction at scale?
Hybrid roll formers enable contractors to serve diverse projects — from residential wall panels to industrial roof trusses — with one machine. They increase efficiency, reduce capital expenditure, and keep production consistent across cold formed steel applications.
