Square & round bars

Discover Gardette steel bars: quality, choice & customised just for you

Steel bars are essential components for a range of different projects, be it mechanical production, construction or industrial assembly. At Gardette, we offer a vast selection of steel bars, cold-drawn on site in France to meet even the most specific requirements. Our products perfectly marry precision, stability and adaptability, all while being easily available online.

Types of steel bar available


Our cold-drawn steel bars and profiles range from 3 to 4 metres in length (we can also cold-draw steel wire).

Through a combination of cold drawing and roll forming, we end up with different variants of solid steel bars:

  • Square, round or half-round bars, with exceptional mechanical precision.
  • Metal shapes without removing material.
  • Cold-drawn steel wire, offering excellent performance for small dimensions.


Our bars are compliant with international standards such as DIN 6880, with precise tolerances like h9 and k9, and come in various materials (C45 steel, A2 stainless steel and A4 stainless steel):

  • Carbon steels (C22, C45, etc.)
  • Low-alloy steels (42CrMo4, 16NiCr6, etc.)
  • Tool steels (90MnV8, 100Cr6, etc.)
  • Stainless steel (304, 304L, 316Ti, etc.)

Why opt for our steel bars?


When you choose Gardette, you're choosing over a century of renowned expertise in cold-drawing and machining steel.

With the help of our top-of-the-range machinery specially designed for rolling, cold-drawing and heat treating, we produce a wide range of cold drawn steel. This includes standard cross sections (flat, square, hexagonal) as well as custom tailor-made parts. We work with various steel grades, such as medium carbon steel, CD4, stainless steel and tool steels, allowing us to meet all your needs.

Cold-drawing & machining steel bars at Gardette


Cold-drawing is an essential process in producing steel bars. It involves:

  • Reducing the material's cross section
  • Lessening the material's dimensions by putting it through a die
  • Straightening the cold-drawn steel through a series of dies
  • And lastly, shearing the cold-drawn steel into a precise bar shape.


Not only does this process increase the material's mechanical strength, it also greatens the steel bar's dimensional precision, reaching tolerances such as h9 and k9, essential for heavy-duty applications.

As for cold rolling, it's a procedure used to enhance the metal's elasticity while still producing regular, uniform cross sections.

Square & round steel bars: steel rods for you, no matter the project



As well as our square steel bars, we also offer solid, round bars (cold-drawn), specially designed to meet the requirements of particularly demanding projects. Manufactured via our cold-drawing process, these rods offer outstanding dimensional precision, increased mechanical strength and great durability.

Available in several different materials, i.e. carbon steel, stainless steel or a galvanised version, our "stub" steel rods, as we call them, are suitable for all sorts of applications, be it mechanical engineering, industrial infrastructure or projects requiring excellent protection against corrosion.



On top of this, all our cold-drawn round steel bars / rods go through a cold rolling process in order to guarantee a uniform finish and optimal tolerances. Should you have specific requirements, we also offer a galvanising service, giving the bars increased resistance in aggressive environments as well as greater longevity.

Custom cold-drawing services for your projects

Here at Gardette, we know each project is different. That's why we offer:

  • Options for personalised cutting, catering to specific lengths / dimensions.
  • Quick & flexible delivery to meet your needs and deadlines.
  • Technical support: Our experts are here to help you choose the materials and tolerances best suited to your needs.
    We also offer custom, made-to-order steel bars for applications requiring non-standard profiles or dimensions.
