Maybe your current sup- plier is back-ordered and you Eneed some options, or just think it’s time to shop around. We think we’ve pulled together some pretty good choices in our first-ever Rollforming Buyers’ Guide. You’re holding the print version in your hands (or possibly looking at an e-version) but it is also accessible through a spe- cial online portal with additional prod- uct images and content provided by the listed companies. You can access the virtual guide directly from our new website: www. rollformingmagazine.com. Just go to the home page and you’ll find the buyers’ guide link in the top navigation bar. For the print version, we’ve also added some select product profiles to whet your appetite for all things roll forming. When you do visit the website, stop and take a look around. It’s exclusively devoted to industry professionals. While the buyers’ guide takes the main spotlight in this issue, don’t overlook our photo report on the second Construction Rollforming Show, held in June. It was a challenge to plan and carry off an event during a pandemic, but we finally suc- ceeded, and it was a good show. But don’t take my word for it, find out what other people had to say. May you have a safe, happy, and healthy summer season. [email protected] ROLLFORMINGMAGAZINE.COM 33-editors-editors nnote_stjf.inddote_stjf.indd 3 77/6/21/6/21 99:20:20 AAMM CContentsontents )) .
