Professional Plate Rolling Services Nairobi Kenya
Precision plate rolling services & cylinder forming for stainless steel fabrication across East Africa
Pelican Metal Craft's Fabrication Division offers professional plate rolling services for stainless steel and other metals across Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania. Plate rolling (also called roll bending) is a metal forming process that transforms flat sheet metal into cylindrical, conical, or curved shapes essential for tank fabrication, ducting, architectural features, and industrial components.
Our workshop is equipped with modern plate rolling machinery capable of forming stainless steel sheets up to 6mm thickness and 3000mm width. Whether you require cylinders for milk cooling tanks, curved sections for architectural cladding, or conical hoppers for processing equipment, our experienced team delivers accurate, consistent results with full material traceability.
