Factors for roll forming success
| There's a lot to know about roll forming.
That's why the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, International (FMA), developed
this Roll Forming Tutorial with one of the most experienced professionals in the industry,
George Halmos. Spend two days under his
tutelage and you'll come away with a comprehensive understanding of current roll forming
practices and technology. Learn how factors such as product design, equipment selection,
materials, troubleshooting, and managerial concepts play a critical role in the success
for your roll forming operation.
