About Us

Industrial Metal Profiling is a second-generation independent steel services centre, founded by Frikkie and Clint Koch. We have a diverse range of customers in construction, industrial and agricultural sectors, delivering on demand cut & supply for steel, stainless steel and aluminium. We pride ourselves on being large enough to tackle the big jobs but with family values to still care about the little ones.  We understand that your material needs to be properly managed, because improper fits can set construction back and affect the quality of the project.
