| Metra North America |
The Metra North America rebrand unifies Extruded Aluminum, Profile Custom Extrusions, and Metra Canada. The Metra North America rebrand consolidates sites, customers, and services under one entity. Owned by KPS Capital Partners, the platform serves building and industrial markets. The Metra North America rebrand strengthens extrusion, finishing, and fabrication capabilities across the region.
Capacity, footprint, and alloy focus
Metra North America operates 10 presses and multiple finishing lines. The network includes vertical and liquid painting, thermal assembly, and machining. Headquarters sit in Belding, Michigan, with sites in Georgia, Michigan, and Quebec. The group specializes in 6XXX alloys, notably 6061, 6063, and 6082. It also produces 1050 and 1100 for electrical conductivity needs.
Market impact and customer benefits
The combined platform streamlines quoting, tooling, and program transfers. Therefore, customers gain shorter lead times and broader profiles. Painting, fabrication, and assembly integrate into a single workflow. Cross-border coverage supports OEMs with North American logistics. Governance by KPS adds capital discipline and operational rigor.
The Metalnomist Commentary
This integration builds a scaled extrusions partner with end-to-end services. Watch utilization of 10 presses, paint line throughput, and on-time delivery. Mixed alloy breadth should help win architectural and industrial programs.
