About Hi-Span

Established in 1962, Hi-SPAN has over 60 years of experience serving the construction industry and has remained at the forefront of the design, manufacture, and development of cold-rolled steel products.

Investment in state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and technology has strengthened Hi-SPAN's position as one of the UK's leading suppliers of cold-rolled steel solutions. This commitment to innovation has enabled the company not only to invest in cutting-edge machinery but also to expand its product portfolio and develop new structural systems to meet the evolving needs of the construction sector. This is exemplified by the successful development of the Hi-WALL and Hi-SOLA systems.

More recently, the installation of a dedicated Hi-WALL framing mill and the construction of a purpose-built manufacturing facility have significantly increased production capacity, reduced lead times, and reinforced the company's commitment to the growing light steel framing market.

Hi-SPAN continues to invest in innovation, manufacturing excellence, and product development, ensuring its cold-rolled steel solutions meet the changing demands of modern construction while maintaining the high standards of quality, reliability, and service that have defined the business for more than six decades.

Design is at the heart of everything we do. Our dedicated Research & Development team continually refines and expands our product range, ensuring we deliver efficient, practical, and cost-effective cold-rolled steel solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern construction.

Our experienced technical team is available to provide expert guidance throughout your project, whether you require product recommendations, design advice, or technical assistance to help identify the most suitable solution.

For projects requiring additional support, our team can offer free advise or provide a comprehensive detailing service (subject to an agreed fee). Our team can produce the detailed fabrication drawings required for manufacture, helping to ensure accuracy, minimise delays, and provide a smooth transition from design to production.

For over 25 years, Hi-SPAN has provided a bespoke section manufacturing service, producing custom cold-rolled sections tailored to meet individual project requirements and exact dimensional specifications.

In addition to bespoke roll-formed sections, we offer blanking and punching from wide coil in material thicknesses ranging from 1.2mm to 3.0mm, together with press-braking capabilities for components up to 4,000mm in length. Our precision punching facilities can accommodate a wide variety of hole patterns and configurations, manufactured to your exact requirements.

Whether you require a one-off profile or a large production run, our experienced team is always happy to review your project and advise on the most practical and cost-effective manufacturing solution. If the section can be produced, we'll work with you to deliver a solution that meets your technical, quality, and programme requirements.

Our experienced sales team is always on hand to guide you through the ordering process, advise on the information required for manufacture, and answer any technical or commercial queries. We aim to make ordering as straight forward as possible and ensuring your order is processed quickly and accurately.

For customers working within BIM environments our products are available to download as AutoCAD files. Our entire range of sections and accessories are also integrated into Tekla Structures and CADDS software packages, supporting efficient design and detailing.

Alternatively, our free Hi-Detail software provides an intuitive detailing solution for customers who do not use 3D CAD platforms, enabling quick and accurate detailing of our full product range, with completed submissions emailed directly to our team. The data can then be transferred seamlessly into our manufacturing systems, helping to reduce lead times, improve efficiency and streamline the ordering process.
