Our engineered solutions are designed to address the dynamic manufacturing demands of the Flanders and Wallonia construction sectors. These initial models represent high-efficiency configurations built to standard European parameters.
As an established expert in the cold metal forming industry, XC (Xiongchang) provides fully integrated structural profile manufacturing systems. Our portfolio encompasses the core engineering configurations required for steel framing, building envelope profiles, composite decking, and roof truss systems, as well as premium auxiliary equipment necessary for continuous automated production.
Our technology addresses modern manufacturing imperatives: reduction in setup time, optimization of material yield, and reliable mechanical tolerance controls. From high-capacity industrial systems to specialized, custom-profile machinery, we bridge the gap between high-volume manufacturing capabilities and precise European regulatory standards.
Belgium serves as one of Western Europe’s major logistics and transit gateways. The rapid expansion of distribution centers, automated warehousing facilities, and cold storage hubs around the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Liège Airport, and the Brussels logistics corridor has led to an unprecedented demand for structural building envelopes. Traditional structural steel construction is increasingly being phased out in favor of light-gauge, cold-formed steel (CFS) framework profiles due to their cost efficiency, structural strength-to-weight ratio, and ease of assembly on-site.
In accordance with the Belgian national annex to Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-3), which governs cold-formed members and sheeting, steel profiles used in industrial applications must meet rigorous physical safety tolerances, load-bearing capacities, and material standards. This requires purlin roll forming lines to deliver precise dimensional configurations with minimal margin for error. Features like punch hole positions for sag rods, cleat connections, and end-lap joints must align perfectly during on-site pre-assembly.
Furthermore, with the European Union’s push toward net-zero buildings, Belgian construction projects increasingly prioritize materials that support modular, relocatable, and circular building methodologies. Cold-formed steel profiles fit this criterion perfectly, requiring advanced roll forming machinery that can handle high-tensile steel grades (up to S550GD or S350GD+Z zinc coatings) without causing microscopic surface cracks or compromising protective galvanized surfaces.
The manufacturing of structural steel profiles is transitioning from mechanical, manually configured setups to fully digitalized, sensor-controlled automation processes. Xiongchang is at the forefront of this shift, integrating cutting-edge technologies into our roll forming lines to help fabricators achieve flexible production, reduce downtime, and improve overall operational safety.
Eliminate traditional manual spacing rings. Our servo-driven adjustment systems allow operators to transition between C, Z, and U profiles of different heights (100mm to 400mm) and flange widths in under 60 seconds through simple HMI PLC inputs.
Equipped with secure industrial VPN remote-access modules. Our engineering department can perform real-time diagnostic checks, reprogram punching setups, and analyze sensor telemetry directly from our China facility, reducing service lag.
Integration of variable frequency drives (VFD) on hydraulic power packs minimizes overall electricity consumption. Instead of continuous idle pump operation, the unit spikes output solely during active shearing and dynamic punching cycles.

Inquire NowEnsuring precision in profile shape and size is a core focus at our facility. At Xiongchang, we have established testing facilities to evaluate every mechanical subsystem prior to containerized shipping:
Our manufacturing facility in China leverages domestic industrial supply chains for raw materials and machining services. With over 50,000 square meters of specialized workspace, we keep all design, mechanical milling, heat treatment, roller processing, and electrical wiring assembly under one roof. This concentration of capabilities reduces lead times and protects the production process from external delays.
For Belgian structural fabricators, sourcing from our Factory 4.0 means gaining access to high-quality machinery at competitive total cost of ownership (TCO). By engineering high-stress components to withstand decades of continuous use, we help you reduce capital expenditure while maintaining productivity. We handle structural transport preparations, anti-corrosion marine packaging, and complete customs documentation to ensure smooth delivery through the Port of Antwerp.
Placing a machine in service in Western Europe requires strict compliance with local directives. Xiongchang provides options to meet these regulations:
Our high-precision cold roll forming equipment is designed for structural applications across multiple key sectors:
Roof and wall profiles, sandwich panel skins, and structural C/Z steel purlins for commercial warehouses.
Automated pallet rack upright profiles, shelf beams, and guide rails for logistics centers.
High-strength support brackets and galvanized mounting structures for ground solar installations.
Safety guardrail systems, highway barriers, and customized automotive vehicle framing components.
