Metecno Mexico

 

For more than 50 years, Metecno Group has been a frontrunner in the development of products with the highest technical specifications. The panel specialty company was founded in Italy in 1960, and since then, has sold more than 250 million square meters of different types of panels, which have been installed in several parts of the world and in diverse climate conditions.

Metecno strives to set itself apart from the competition through its new technology, know-how, use of the finest raw materials, quality control and qualified service-driven personnel.

As it continues to extend its reach, the holding company is revolutionizing the construction industry in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean through its fire-resistant, soundproof mineral wool panels. With no signs of slowing down, the company continues to grow as a global leader in its market now that its products are sold in Europe, Asia, North America and Latin America. Its plants are also all over the world, including in Spain, Portugal, Germany, France, Colombia and Mexico.

Mexican Branch

In 1992, the parent company – having already set up a branch in Colombia – began to market its technology in Mexico. Later, in 2000, Metecno Mexico became part of the holding group. Today, the Mexican branch has offices in the country’s major cities and a production plant in the state of Queretaro. The selection of this state is a strategic move to promote communication between important cities such as Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara and ports such as Veracruz and Manzanillo.

The Queretaro plant has the high capacity to produce more than two million square meters of insulated, polyurethane-injected metallic panels per year. These are sold domestically, as well as throughout Central America.

The same plant produces a slew of products for various construction solutions, including architectural needs. Since 2000, Metecno Mexico has manufactured Glamet, Glamet LV, Superwall, Glamet Frigo, Frigo Superwall panels, Metcoppo panel, Metwall and Metdoors.

In 2014, Metcoppo panel was selected as the roofing material for a beautiful chapel in the state of Hidalgo. The construction of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, located in Mineral de Reforma, was carried out by Arguetas Constructores. This project utilized 1,280 square-meters of 1.5-inch Metcoppo for the roof tiles in a terracotta color.

Metecno Mexico stays busy. Among its many projects are included housing and commercial, some big and some small. In recent years, the company has worked with hospitals – Hospital Militar, Hospital de Punta Arenas, Hospital Felix Bulnes – as well as mines – Doña Inés De Collahuasi de Codelco, Los Bronces de Anglo American, Yacimiento Gaby de Codelco. Also among its projects are energy centers, areas that need soundproofing and fire-resistant warehouses.
