Hypax has carved out Metra Non-Ferrous Metals from German industrial group Grillo-Werke, creating a UK platform in the specialist non-ferrous metals distribution market.

Metra supplies non-ferrous metals — including roofing, cladding and architectural metals — to contractors and fabricators across the construction, heritage restoration and industrial sectors.

The business operates from a UK distribution network that serves a customer base reliant on corrosion-resistant and aesthetically specified material for both new-build and refurbishment projects.

Hypax is backing the existing management team to grow the platform.
