How STALART Spain transformed its business with Scottsdale’s roll forming technology
Choosing the right system can make all the difference in the rapidly evolving world of industrialized construction. For STALART Spain, a company now recognized as a leader in steel framing, the decision to work with Scottsdale’s roll forming system marked a turning point. In this exclusive customer testimonial, Manuel Marrama, CEO of STALART Spain, shares the journey from early research to becoming a trusted name in light-gauge steel construction.
Why Did STALART Choose Scottsdale’s Roll Forming Technology?
After nearly two years of in-depth research, Manuel Marrama made a pivotal decision. He wasn’t just looking for an industrial system; he needed one that delivered efficiency, precision, and scalability.
“From my point of view, Scottsdale has a powerful software, while the hardware is simple and easy to work with. That combination is a key strength.”
– Manuel Marrama, CEO of STALART Spain
One of the standout features of the Scottsdale system is the ability to manufacture steel framing profiles without changing tools or adjusting rollers. This allows for long, uninterrupted production runs with minimal errors, a critical factor when scaling production and maintaining high-quality standards.
“The learning curve is very short, which helps new team members get up to speed quickly. Everyone who visits our factory is amazed at how clean it is, even while working with steel. That’s consistently highlighted in our annual ISO certification audits.”
Real Results Across Multiple Light-Gauge Steel Construction Segments
STALART has applied the Scottsdale roll forming system across a variety of construction sectors, from luxury residential projects to high-volume housing and social housing developments.
In high-end projects, the system’s flexibility allows full architectural freedom, even within a factory-based construction environment. Meanwhile, in high-volume developments, the focus shifts to efficiency and speed. Manuel highlights a social housing project currently underway in Seville, Southern Spain, consisting of 58 residential units plus common areas.
Thanks to Scottsdale’s roll forming technology and a BIM-integrated design approach, STALART can produce and install one residential unit per day, reducing the project timeline by 14 months and achieving significant cost savings.
“Architects often tell us, ‘For the first time, what I designed was built with millimetric precision.’ That’s the power of integrating design and manufacturing in a single system; there are no errors during the transfer from design to production.”
From Uruguay and Poland to Spain: A Journey with Scottsdale’s Roll Forming Technology
STALART’s journey began in 2009, when Manuel visited Uruguay for a social housing project. That experience opened his eyes to the potential of industrialized construction, and after extensive research, he decided steel framing was the right path. The next step was choosing a roll forming system, a process that led him to Scottsdale Construction Systems.
“Byron from Scottsdale guided me through the decision-making process. We started small, manufacturing in Poland with support from Scottsdale clients there, and slowly brought the system to Spain.”
In 2018, STALART officially entered the Spanish market under its own brand. Since then, the company has been focused on positioning itself as a high-value provider of steel framing solutions, offering full support from design and engineering to manufacturing and installation.
The Future of Light-Gauge Steel Construction
Today, STALART operates as a specialist in steel framing construction, delivering complete structures that show clients the real potential of building with light-gauge steel.
“We’ve reached a point where demand is coming to us organically. We specialize exclusively in steel framing, and the Scottsdale system is at the core of our operations. It’s helped us create a clean, efficient, and scalable production model — something that truly sets us apart.”
