Metehe Oy

What Metehe Oy does

Metehe Oy is a Finnish steel roofing and facade panel manufacturer founded in 1998 by Seppo Jääskeläinen and headquartered in Joutseno, Lappeenranta, Finland. The company manufactures coated steel roofing sheets, wall panels, and facade systems using pre-painted and hot-dip galvanized steel imported from Tata Steel under a 20+ year authorized distributor relationship. Its product range spans nine roofing profiles (including tile-pattern, mechanically seamed, lock-seam, and trapezoidal variants), facade wall sheets, the patented Metehe Concertto embossed facade cassette system (with Acusto perforated and Vivo variants across 300/400/600/1200mm modules), and supporting accessories such as flashings, rainwater systems, ladders, and snow guards. A distinctive Metehe Quality Class warranty system offers 30-50 year technical and aesthetic guarantees on selected products.

The business operates a direct manufacturer-to-customer sales model through its Joutseno factory and a network of five pickup warehouse locations across Lappeenranta, Järvenpää, Tampere, Seinäjoki, and Oulu, with construction-site delivery available. Products are built to customer-specified dimensions, pricing is quote-based, and standard delivery lead times are 2-4 weeks (1-2 weeks for small orders). The company serves three primary customer segments: consumers and homeowners (residential and summer-house roofing), building professionals (roof installers and construction companies), and the steel sheet metal industry (coil products, perforated plates, and fabricated sheet). An industrial coil product line serves metalworking businesses and further processors.

In 2015, Metehe reacquired Plannja Oy Ab (the former Teräs-Taive Oy, Jääskeläinen's original company, which had been sold to SSAB in 1996) from SSAB; the combined group had approximately 50 employees and ~EUR 20M in revenue in 2018. The business is family-owned, with current leadership of CEO Arttu Marttila and CFO Jaana Haila, and has received national recognition including a 2005 Presidential InnoSuomi innovation honorable mention and a 2010 BUDMA Gold Medal for the Concertto system. Geographic reach is primarily Finland with reported export activity into Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, and Poland.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Plannja Oy Ab: Plannja is actually Metehe's wholly-owned subsidiary (acquired 2015), but historically operated as a separate brand selling steel roofing and rainwater systems in Finland. Included to highlight the consolidated competitive position; in practice the two brands are now integrated.
• Fischer Profil: German manufacturer of steel and aluminum profile systems for roofing, facades, and industrial applications. Comparable to Metehe in producing trapezoidal profiles, cassettes, and custom-formed facade panels from coated steel coil.
• Weckman Steel Oy: Finnish/Estonian manufacturer of steel roofing, facade profiles, and rainwater systems. Most direct head-to-head competitor to Metehe in the Finnish market with overlapping product range including tile-pattern profiles, lock-seam roofing, and trapezoidal sheets.
• Areco: Swedish manufacturer and distributor of metal roofing, facade panels, and accessories. Direct comparable to Metehe in product range (steel roofing profiles, facade cassettes, rainwater systems) and Nordic market focus, with proprietary facade systems similar to Metehe's Concertto.
• Bemo Systems: German manufacturer of standing seam metal roofing and facade systems using coated steel and aluminum. Directly comparable to Metehe's Metehe Rivikatto lock-seam and Konesauma mechanically seamed roofing products, serving similar architectural and commercial roofing segments.
• Lindab: Swedish manufacturer of steel building products including roofing, wall cladding, and rainwater systems. Closely comparable to Metehe in product mix (steel roofing profiles, facade systems, accessories) and direct-to-customer distribution model, but operates at significantly larger European scale.

Broad incumbents

• Kingspan Group: Irish-headquartered global building envelope manufacturer with significant insulated panel and metal facade cladding business. Competes with Metehe in architectural metal facades and roofing, particularly in commercial/industrial segments, but operates at vastly larger global scale.
• Ruukki (SSAB): Ruukki is SSAB's construction brand and the dominant Nordic manufacturer of steel roofing, facade cladding, and building envelope products. Direct competitor in metal roofing and wall panels, with significantly larger scale and pan-Nordic distribution - Metehe's former parent via the Teräs-Taive/Plannja lineage.

Others

• Tata Steel (Building Products): Metehe's primary raw material supplier and authorized distributor relationship partner. Tata Steel also sells building envelope products in some markets, and its Colorcoat brand underpins Metehe's warranty offering, making it both a critical enabler and potential competitor.

Regional players

• SAB Profil: Nordic steel profiling company offering roofing, wall cladding, and structural decking products. Comparable product portfolio to Metehe in trapezoidal profiles and facade cassettes, with presence primarily in Norway and Sweden (regional overlap with Metehe's Nordic focus).
