Metacon-Next

What Metacon-Next does

Metacon-Next B.V. is a Dutch manufacturer of certified fire-resistant and burglary-resistant industrial doors, formed in 2021 through the merger of Metaalwarenfabriek Metacon (founded 1927 in Gouda) and Next Door Systems (founded 2010 in Emmeloord). The company designs, R&Ds, and produces its entire portfolio in-house at a ~13,000 m2 facility in Moordrecht, Netherlands, employing nearly 100 staff. Its product range spans fire-resistant roller shutters (RGT), rolling doors (RGS/RGC), overhead doors (OHD-C), sliding doors (SGC), pedestrian doors (LD Pro), rapid-action doors (OHD-C Sprint), and burglary-resistant shutters, grilles, and insulated doors, all classified to European EN standards (fire ratings 30-360 minutes; burglary resistance RC 2-4; smoke control Sa/S200; sound insulation up to 32-34 dB).

The company holds a deep stack of certifications (CE per EN 13241 and EN 16034, ISO 9001 since 2011, ISO 14001 since 2014, Factory Production Control, and EPDs across most fire doors as of 2025) and ships exclusively through a dealer network spanning 70+ countries, with dedicated sales offices in Germany and Italy opened in 2022. Customers include industrial and commercial facility operators, parking operators, retail storefronts, and government/defense buyers such as the French Army. Pricing is quote-based on custom configuration, supported by the proprietary MetaConfigurator online tool launched in 2021 that links sales configuration to production data.

Revenue mechanics are entirely project-driven B2B hardware sales through dealers, with no disclosed recurring revenue model. Strategic posture is one of steady international expansion, certification-led differentiation, and operational consolidation (Emmeloord production relocated to Moordrecht in 2023). Leadership transitioned in late 2021 after co-founder Vincent Vergunst's passing, with Mark Asscheman assuming the Algemeen directeur role; the company remains privately held with no disclosed external investors or private equity backing.
