What MetPro does
MetPro Verpackungs-Service GmbH, operating as MetPro Group, is a German specialty manufacturer of corrosion protection packaging headquartered in Jesewitz. The company sells the BioCor® product family — films (Series 300, including the recycled-content R-Series), papers (Series 330), HeavyDuty packaging (Series 350, comprising WrapFilm, WrapWeave, and hollow chamber solutions), and reusable VCI dispensers (Series 370, the MetPro PowerBox) — built on its proprietary BioCor® VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) technology. The technology uses biodegradable volatile inhibitors that release inside closed packaging to form an invisible protective layer on metal surfaces and evaporate residue-free after unpacking, eliminating the cleaning step required by traditional oils, waxes, and desiccants. The patented Bonding Technology used in WrapFilm and WrapWeave enables a closed protective layer from only 30% material overlap, and the formulations cover steel, cast iron, aluminum, zinc, copper, brass, bronze, titanium, and other metals.
MetPro's primary customer segments are automotive manufacturers (requiring VDA-compliant and OEM-approved packaging for parts, engines, and components) and metal-processing companies (requiring storage and transport corrosion protection for tools, spare parts, and heavy machinery). Revenue is generated through direct enterprise sales via an in-house customer service center, with quote-based pricing for standard products on a pay-as-you-go cadence and individualized, multi-year contracts for customized solutions. The company operates a vertically integrated value chain covering R&D, masterbatch production, climate chamber testing, manufacturing, and direct distribution. A six-language website (German, English, French, Romanian, Spanish, Chinese) signals outreach beyond the DACH home market into broader European and Chinese industrial accounts. BioCor® has received multiple "Marke des Jahrhunderts" (Brand of the Century) awards from DIE ZEIT Verlag, reinforcing brand positioning in the German industrial packaging category.
