High-grade products and comprehensive service are crucial to ensuring a long-term cooperative partnership and successful development projects for system manufacturer Metra, based in Rodengo Saiano, Italy.
As leading companies in their industry, both Metra and HAUTAU attach great importance to high quality and superior service. They both enjoy an excellent reputation in their niche market.
Metra has been a market leader for ambitious projects in architecture and industry in the aluminium profile sector since 1962. This is also evident throughout the company's 360° production chain: aluminium is taken as a raw material and transformed into a highly developed end product thanks to optimum machining and finishing processes.
Metra produces durable, highly developed, environmentally friendly systems in Italy for top-end building projects worldwide. A customised product range always meets all visual and technical requirements as well as those of planners and end consumers. At Metra, each product can be tracked and traced, whether it is a façade or a slide panel. Its international production and distribution network allows Metra to add Italian flair to buildings the world over.
An international focus is something else that HAUTAU and Metra have in common – 'Think global – work local' is the principle underpinning strategies at both companies. The numerous local sales partners distribute German-made quality in their local areas. This gives rise to Italo-German solutions beyond compare in combined projects. Joint training and support for machining and processing ensures that technical knowledge is exchanged on a regular basis. New solutions are developed and existing ones optimised. Appealing building projects equipped with Italian window structures and ATRIUM fittings, a product of German engineering, unite timeless elegance with technical finesse and convenience. Such a unique, global solution delivers a true system which blends into any visual context while providing security, convenience and energy savings.
'With HAUTAU as a partner, we are in a great position in terms of scope for design and carrying out international projects. Successful joint projects serve as a testament to these advantages.' Ettore Bonnetti – Commercial Director,
Metra: Joint projects provide convincing proof of shared success for contractors and planners.
