Our company was founded on August 25th 1954 by Mr. Juan Montemayor Martínez and Mr. Mario J. Montemayor García.
At the beginning, our line of business was the elaboration of metallic products with manually operated machinery. Nowadays, we are recognized for having the most modern plant in Latin America dedicated to manufacturing profiles, tubes and steel components.
1954
Operations begin in the first plant of profile manufacturing in Mexico. During the first years, the company focused on the production of cages for chicken coops due to the poultry peak in the region. In this same year, the first line of profiles for doors and windows was introduced into the Mexican market.
1960-1970
In the beginning, the elaboration of the steel profiles consisted in pressed profiles; due to the requierements of the market, the production levels durning this period reached the 84,000 tons annually. This resulted in the acquisition of new machinery that will bring about a technological change that would transform the production rhythm of the company: the elaboration of rolled profiles.

PROLAMSA has always distinguished itself by manufacturing top quality materials. For this reason, in 1987 we acquired the first roll painting line, in order to prevent oxidation of the profile, thus offering a differential in the market.
