The IBR roll forming machine is one of the most in-demand metal roofing machines in Angola, widely used in the construction of commercial, residential, and industrial buildings. This machine produces the IBR (Inverted Box Rib) roofing sheet — a high-strength, low-maintenance profile known for its superior load-bearing capacity, weather resistance, and long-lasting performance.

Machine Matcher supplies new, custom-built IBR roll forming machines designed to meet the exact requirements of Angolan buyers — including local power supply (380V, 50Hz), preferred coil sizes, and roof profile standards common across Luanda, Benguela, Huambo, and Lubango.

All machines are manufactured to order, with options for automation, punching, embossing, and hydraulic cutting systems.
