WELCOME,
CONTRACTORS
We bring the panel machine to your job site. While we fabricate your order, your company sign goes on our trailer — free advertising for the entire neighbourhood to see. Here is what partnering with On-Site Metal Roll Forming means for your business.
MAGNETIC SIGN PANEL —
SWAPPED FOR EVERY JOB
Our trailer features a dedicated sign panel area on the side — approximately 24" × 38". For each job, we attach your company's magnetic sign panel displaying your logo, company name, and contact information. It slides on before we arrive at your job site and stays displayed for the entire duration of fabrication.
The system is simple and effective: a magnetic or slide-in panel that attaches securely to the trailer for each job and each contractor. When we move to the next job, the sign swaps to the next contractor. Your brand is front and centre at your job site — at no additional cost.
MAGNETIC MOUNT
Attaches securely, removes cleanly. Swapped for each contractor and each job.
HIGH VISIBILITY
24" × 38" panel prominently displayed on the trailer side for maximum exposure.
ZERO COST
Included with every job. No sign fees, no advertising charges, no catch.
YOUR BRAND
Your logo, your company name, your phone number. Neighbours see you, not us.
Example: "Stan's Roofing" sign panel displayed during on-site panel fabrication
Fencing contractor example — sign swapped for each job
Siding contractor example — your brand, your job site
FREE ADVERTISING THAT
WORKS WHILE YOU WORK
Every time our trailer is at your job site, your company name is on display. Neighbours walk by, cars drive past, homeowners across the street take notice. This is not a billboard on a highway — this is targeted, hyperlocal advertising right in the neighbourhood where your next customer lives.
NEIGHBOURHOOD VISIBILITY
Your sign is displayed in the exact neighbourhood where you are working. The people who see it are homeowners who may need the same service — roofing, siding, or fencing. This is the most targeted form of advertising possible.
HOURS OF EXPOSURE
Panel fabrication takes time. Depending on the order size, our trailer can be on site for several hours — sometimes a full day. That is hours of continuous exposure for your company sign, not a 30-second drive-by.
PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION
When neighbours see your company name on a professional fabrication trailer with a Zimmerman NS1000 roll former, it positions you as a serious contractor who uses premium equipment and materials. It elevates your brand.
REFERRAL NETWORK
When homeowners contact us directly for panel quotes, we connect them with registered contractors in their area. More leads, more projects, more revenue — all because you are in our network.
REPEAT VISIBILITY
The more jobs you book through us, the more your sign appears across different neighbourhoods. Over time, your company name becomes familiar across your entire service area.
ZERO ADVERTISING COST
No monthly fees, no per-impression charges, no contracts. The sign panel is included with every job you order through us. The only investment is the one-time cost of your magnetic sign.
"Every job site becomes a showroom for your company. The neighbours see your name, they see the quality of the panels being fabricated, and they see a professional operation. That is how you win the next job on the same street."
— ON-SITE METAL ROLL FORMING
WHAT THE NS1000 BRINGS
TO YOUR COMPANY
The Zimmerman NS1000 Twin Pan Former is a commercial-grade roll forming machine that fabricates standing seam panels on site, at your job location. Here is what that means for your business as aROOFING, SIDING, or FENCING contractor.
CUSTOM LENGTHS — NO WASTE
Panels are cut to the exact length your job requires. No pre-cut inventory, no waste from trimming oversized panels, and no seams in the middle of a run. A single continuous panel from eave to ridge.
FASTER INSTALLATION
Panels go from the machine directly to the roof, wall, or fence. No waiting for factory deliveries, no scheduling around shipping timelines. Your crew can start installing as soon as panels come off the former.
ZERO TRANSPORT DAMAGE
Factory-shipped panels travel hundreds of kilometres on a flatbed and often arrive with scratches, dents, or bent edges. On-site fabrication eliminates that risk entirely. Every panel is pristine.
COMPETITIVE PRICING
Our panel pricing is below factory direct. Combined with the elimination of shipping costs and damage waste, your total material cost is lower — which means better margins for you or more competitive bids.
SAME-WEEK AVAILABILITY
No 4–6 week factory lead times. Once your order is confirmed, we can typically schedule fabrication within the same week. Your project stays on schedule.
HIDDEN FASTENER SYSTEM
The NS1000 produces a standing seam profile with a hidden fastener system and 12-inch coverage. No exposed screws, clean lines, and superior weather performance.
Panels go directly from the machine to your crew — no middleman, no delay
