The Italian company Metra, the world leader in aluminium extrusion, today belongs to the American fund KPS Capital Partners specializing in investments in the industrial sector, including in aluminium, and is also known for its acquisition of the rolling mills of the Norwegian company Hydro.
After sixty years Metra thus enters an international dynamic, as happened to its greatest partner: Permasteelisa. Metra is a prominent consumer of aluminium in Italy together with the Cromodora group (which produces wheels for automotive), Metra has written the history of downstream applications of light metal in Europe. The company has been a constellation for decades, a premier technology hub, with four factories in Europe and an industrial branch in Canada. Its expansion is the result of the intersection between the Bertoli, Marinelli, Zanetti, and Giacomelli families.
This is confirmed by Metra’s CEO Enrico Zampedri, who for the last three years has led Metra on the path of growth in financial equilibrium. Coming from the healthcare and hospital sector, where he directed some large institutions in Rome, Zampedri provides AlCircle with the most up-to-date scenario for Metra.
