Timeline
2025In 2025, ORTIC AB has had the honor of being nominated for the Company of the Year award in the municipality of Borlänge. This nomination is a recognition of our team's dedication and hard work in delivering high-quality solutions in roll forming. We are proud to contribute to Borlänge’s business community and look forward to continuing our journey toward innovation and growth.
2024This year, we are taking further steps in our growth journey. We are expanding our team with four new employees, reaching a total of 20 staff members. A key highlight of the year will be our participation in the Elmia Sheet Metal Fair, where we will present our largest booth to date. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to explore our entire product range in an impressive display featuring several of our machines.
In addition to our standard products, we are focusing on developing customized machines, strengthening our position as an innovative partner in advanced roll forming. At the same time, we are preparing for future growth by implementing a new ERP system and introducing a dedicated office manager to enhance our internal structure. These changes ensure that we are well-equipped to meet customer demands and support continued expansion
2023ORTIC continued its strong development by hiring one additional team member, bringing the total to 16 employees. This year, we focused on developing aftermarket products and delivering high-quality production lines that are now operational worldwide. We also made significant progress in our aftermarket strategy, emphasizing quality and reliability to maximize customer production efficiency.
2022The company experienced significant growth, increasing the number of employees from 9 to 15. Sales reached new heights, with several large contracts secured.
2021Advancements in traditional roll forming gained momentum. The CEO acquired a larger share of the company, marking a new phase as a leader-owned business.
2018-2020The company shifted its main focus from 3D machine development to traditional roll forming. This transition included the introduction of standardized machines in various sizes and strengthening customer service. By 2020, ORTIC achieved a positive financial result.

2016
We continued working on various customer projects involving finite element (FE) simulations, often complemented by prototype production using our in-house 3D roll-forming machine.
2013-2015:
ORTIC introduced a new concept for manufacturing 3D profiles for the automotive industry and simultaneously refined models for finite element method (FEM) simulation.
2011:
ORTIC began building its own 3D roll-forming machine. The patented 3D technology is a groundbreaking innovation in roll forming, enabling the production of variable cross-sections in curved shapes. This cost-effective and efficient method is particularly well-suited for high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel, which has become increasingly popular.
2009:
ORTIC developed an exclusive, high-speed production machine for various products, such as lighting poles. The patented technology allows for a unique pole design that improves traffic safety by being flexible enough to reduce impact in vehicle collisions. Additionally, ORTIC built its first 3D demonstrator, installed at Dalarna University.
2006
The company was acquired and became part of the Ortic Group, with strong private owners investing in the development of 3D roll-forming technology.
2002-2004:
3D technology was further developed, producing machines for roofing projects at Budapest Arena and six Olympic stadiums in Athens. These roll-forming machines were containerized for easy transport between global construction sites. In 2004, ORTIC, alongside Bemo Systems GmbH, received an honorable mention at the Swedish Steel Prize.
2001:
The first-generation 3D technology was developed to meet the demands of ORTIC’s German client, BEMO, for machines capable of producing conical roof panels for the Charlotte airport in North Carolina, USA.
1984-2000:
Since 1984, ORTIC has delivered expertise and machines for 2D roll forming of sheet metal, catering to clients with high demands for customization and performance. The rollers are unique, with each machine containing hundreds of them. Machines can also be equipped with interchangeable roller cassettes for producing various parts.
1984:
ORTIC was founded as a subsidiary of SSAB. The company laid the foundation for its proprietary software, ORTIC (Optimized Rollforming Technology Imperfections Calculated), through research on residual stresses and their effects on cold-forming steel. The software calculates roller design and corrects material stresses.
