The profile carrier comprises a base profile of metal, and a reinforcement member (8) of a fiber-reinforced plastic material. The reinforcement member reinforces the base profile. The reinforcement member and the base profile are connected to each other along a profile wall (3) of the base profile and connected to each other by a wall-side positive-locking element (7). The positive-locking element is provided on the profile wall of the base profile, and extends in a transverse direction of the profile wall. The profile carrier comprises a base profile of metal, and a reinforcement member (8) of a fiber-reinforced plastic material. The reinforcement member reinforces the base profile. The reinforcement member and the base profile are connected to each other along a profile wall (3) of the base profile and connected to each other by a wall-side positive-locking element (7). The positive-locking element is provided on the profile wall of the base profile, and extends in a transverse direction of the profile wall. The wall-side positive-locking element and the reinforcement member engage one inside the other in the transverse direction of the profile wall with a positive-locking connection formed between the reinforcement member and the base profile. The positive-locking connection is parallel to the profile wall. The wall-side positive-locking element is constructed as a positive-locking projection, which protrudes from the profile wall towards the reinforcement member and a positive-locking receiving member of the profile wall. The profile wall of the base profile comprises wall portions that extend at an angle relative to each other. The wall-side positive-locking element is provided on the wall portions. The base profile is constructed as a U-shaped profile. The profile wall of the base profile has a closed wall cross-section. Independent claims are included for: (1) a method for producing a profile carrier; (2) a carrier structure of a machine tool; and (3) a method for producing a support structure.
