What MRT does
MRT (Moreda Riviere Trefilerías, S.A.) is a Spanish manufacturer of metal fencing, wire, mesh and gate products founded in 1870 and headquartered in Castellbisbal (Barcelona), operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CELSA Group. The company manufactures from wire drawing through finished fencing systems, producing metal panels (Hórcules, Twin Wire, Exotic), railings, swing, sliding and cantilever gates to EN 13241, industrial safety enclosures to ISO 14120:2015, agricultural knot and welded meshes, barbed wire, fence posts, nails and staples. Core technology is metallurgical: proprietary Ecover heavy-galvanized coating (25-year warranty, 3x wire life) and ZnAl alloy coating (95% zinc / 5% aluminum, per EN 10244-2) provide the primary differentiation on durability and corrosion resistance. Vertical integration with CELSA's electric arc furnace steel production underpins raw material supply and supports a circular, low-CO2 input story. The business model is product sales through a multi-channel network including distributors and installers, grandes superficies de bricolage (DIY superstores) in Spain and export markets, direct sales to industrial firms, farmers and ranchers, public agencies and architects, and individual consumers, supported by a multilingual website (Spanish, English, French), downloadable catalogues, and a CELSA-hosted Customer Portal.
