Rolling Mill Equipment

Tension Reels, Mandrels & Rolling Mill Parts

From complete reels to spare parts for cold and hot rolling mills and coil processing lines — built to print, made from a sample, or repaired.

How we supply

Supplied with a heavy machining & assembly partner

SORA works with a partner workshop equipped with large gantry machining centres, floor-type boring mills, heat-treatment furnaces and assembly and test bays. We manage manufacturing, inspection and export packing in one package — for new lines, upgrades and spare parts.
