Albina offers an expertise in curving structural steel, plate, and other metals to create spiral, circular and helical stair stringers meeting the diverse needs of industries worldwide. Albina has mastered the art of spiral bending with our in-house developed induction bending process. We are the leader in spiral bending in the US and Canada. Our induction heat source and increment bending method produce extremely tight spiral bends to industry leading quality AESS standards.

As a professional in the stair industry, staying current with evolving codes, technical innovations, and best practices is essential. The SMA (Stairbuilders & Manufacturers Association) stood out because it offers:

• Cutting-Edge Education: Whether it’s through the SMA Stair Academy or AIA Continuing Education programs, members gain access to specialized courses and certifications that help advance our expertise.
• Technical Resources: From the 3D Anatomy of a Stair to comprehensive manuals and visual interpretations of the stairbuilding codes, the SMA equips you with the tools to design safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing stairways.
• Networking Opportunities: Annual conferences, regional workshops, and an extensive member directory allow you to connect with fellow professionals—from builders and architects to code officials and designers.

We specialize in architectural exposure quality spiraling of tube steel, channel, plate and pipe to amazingly tight radii and steep pitches. We work on both commercial and residential applications. In addition to staircases and stringers, we produce a number of other ornamental products such as handrails, decorative gates and fences, as well as architecturally unique and appealing signage and entry-ways for commercial, residential, recreational and transportation applications.

SMA (Stiarbuilders & Manufacturers Association) is a vibrant community of professionals passionate about the art and science of stairbuilding. Deciding to join the SMA has opened doors to education, networking, and a wealth of industry knowledge.

We recently spiraled nearly 100 pieces of plate which formed the spiral staircase stringers of a multi-level spiral staircase for a major tech company in Seattle, WA. We also rolled 37 pieces of stainless steel tubing for the handrail. Materials rolled included:

1" THICK A572 GR 50 PLATE IMPORT MATERIAL
Phase 1: Spiral roll the easy way a total of 80 pcs.

1" THICK A572 GR 50 PLATE - 2" THICK A572 GR 50 PLATE
Phase 2: Bevel, Roll and Trim a total of 20+ pcs

1½" SCH40 T304 S/S #4 FINISH
Phase 3: Spiral roll 37 pcs of handrail.

We currently have three plate rolls in our facility ranging from small to large capacity. We just received a new CNC plate roll and have purchased another medium capacity plate roll to arrive in November. Contact us for all of your plate rolling needs!
