Metal Frame & Profile Experts

What Metal Frame & Profile Experts does

MTF (Metal Frame & Profile Experts) is a Belgian custom metalworking company founded in 1978 and headquartered in Hasselt, Belgium. It operates from a 3,000 m² workshop equipped with modern CNC fabrication equipment — including a MAZAK 4KW Fiber laser cutting machine, LVD press brakes and guillotine shears, punching machines, and bending rollers — alongside a fully integrated in-house powder coating line spanning 200 meters. The company fabricates custom steel, stainless steel (RVS), and aluminum components for B2B customers including interior builders, architects, construction firms, and project developers, delivering projects such as stairs, balustrades, bridges, flooring, wall cladding, frames, bars, and display furniture. Documented reference projects include 40-meter wall cladding for the Bosuil stadium in Antwerp (with Schevenels Project Interiors), healthcare fixtures for UZA Edegem, and multi-store retail interiors for Spar, Arte conceptstores, and Hixx Styleparc Luxembourg.

The business model combines three revenue streams: (1) quote-based B2B custom metalwork services, including subcontracting for other fabricators; (2) a proprietary design product line under the Squadra (modular display furniture) and V-max (wall systems) brands, plus a direct-to-consumer e-commerce webshop selling standardized tables (bijzettafels, salontafels, eettafels) priced between €325 and €625; and (3) project-driven commercial installations delivered with design partners across Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. The company's go-to-market is sales-led, supported by a quote request system, an SEO-optimized Dutch-language website, a project portfolio (realisaties), and active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

MTF employs an experienced team including a director (Peter Schreurs), two technical draftsmen, and order and accounting staff, and is actively recruiting an Allround Metaalbewerker to expand capacity. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, no parent company, and no M&A history. Its competitive position rests on integrated in-house production and finishing capabilities, nearly five decades of operating history, and embedded relationships with Belgian design and contractor firms — though it operates without disclosed AI/ML capabilities, patents, or external funding.

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• USM: Swiss maker of the modular USM Haller furniture system — the closest analogue to MTF's Squadra modular display furniture, sharing a slim-metal-profile, configurable-assembly design language sold to retail, office, and hospitality.

Direct peers

• Hollandia: Dutch structural steel fabricator serving infrastructure, commercial, and industrial customers with custom-engineered metal assemblies — comparable custom fabrication model serving construction prime contractors.
• Willy Naessens: Belgian industrial builder fabricating steel and metal structures for commercial, agricultural, and industrial buildings — comparable regional fabrication footprint and customer set in Benelux.
• ASK Romein: Dutch steel construction and fabrication group producing custom structural metalwork, balustrades, and architectural metal solutions across Benelux — directly overlapping with MTF's stairs, railings, and architectural metal scope.
• Voortman Steel Group: Dutch manufacturer combining metal fabrication machinery with own steel fabrication services, including structural and architectural metalwork for industrial and commercial projects — analogous integrated metalwork capability.
• Victor Buyck Steel Construction: Belgian fabricator of large-scale structural and architectural steelwork including bridges, buildings, and custom metal structures — operating in the same Belgian construction market with comparable custom-engineered scope.
• Cordeel: Belgian industrial construction group with in-house steel and metalwork capability producing structural components and architectural metal — directly competitive in the Belgian custom-metal construction market.

Broad incumbents

• Vitra: Swiss design furniture manufacturer producing metal-framed tables, shelving, and modular systems for residential and commercial interiors — overlaps with MTF's Steel-and-Melamine table and design metalwork product lines, though at much larger scale and broader portfolio.
