What Metzger does

Metzger is a French custom aluminum fenestration and exterior joinery manufacturer founded in 1970 in Metz, Lorraine, operating across France, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and Belgium. The company designs, fabricates, and installs a comprehensive range of powder-coated aluminum products including verandas (Tradition® and Evolution® ranges), flat-roof home extensions (Transition® Zen/BBC/Bio/Evo), pergolas (Pratique®, Mythique®, Graphique®, Dynamique®, Bioclimatic), carports, garage doors, windows, entry doors, gates, fencing, and outdoor accessories. Core technology centers on aluminum thermolaqué with rupture de pont thermique (thermal break) profiles, integrated with Saint-Gobain high-performance glazing (ECLAZ ZEN, Selecta, COOL-LITE XTREME). The company holds the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) state label and operates with approximately 70–80 employees, including 24 in-house salaried installation technicians.

The business model is entirely project-based and consultative: every sale originates from at-home measurement visits or one of four owned showrooms (Metz, Nancy, Luxembourg, Arlon), with bespoke quotation and a single interlocutor managing the customer from design through installation. Revenue is one-time per project, with no subscription, recurring, or dealer channel; pricing is fully quote-based, supplemented by a 10% reduced VAT on buildings older than two years and a systematic 10-year decennial warranty. Primary customers are individual homeowners undertaking renovations or extensions, with a secondary channel via architects and project managers (maîtres d'œuvre) specifying Metzger products.

The company pursues technology partnerships with Saint-Gobain (glazing), Somfy (TaHoma smart-home hub, IO motors, weather sensors), Ekey (biometric access), and Sommer (garage-door motorization), and holds stacked certifications including Qualibat, Qualibat RGE, Cradle to Cradle, Qualicoat/Qualicoat Seaside, PEFC, CEKAL, and EXCELL ZONE VERTE. The vertically integrated model — internal engineering bureau, in-house fabrication at Metz workshops, and 24 salaried technicians performing all installation with no subcontracting — is the company's defining operating characteristic and a key differentiator against dealer-channel competitors in the regional market.

Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• SomfycoreTechnology or IntegrationSomfy is Metzger's primary smart home technology partner. The Somfy TaHoma® switch box is integrated as the central control hub for all connected Metzger products — roller shutters, screens, gates, garage doors, lighting, and heating — across io-homecontrol, RTS, and Zigbee 3.0 protocols. TaHoma Switch supports up to 40 manual and 20 scheduled scenarios, controllable via smartphone app, voice (Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit), with no subscription fee. RS100 IO motors and solar variants are also integrated across the range. Somfy Amy io and weather sensors (sun, wind, rain) complete the ecosystem. This partnership is marketed as 'Habitat intelligent' (smart habitat) on Metzger's website and represents a core part of the modern product offering.
• Saint-Gobain GlasscoreTechnology or IntegrationSaint-Gobain supplies the key glazing technologies used across Metzger's veranda and extension ranges: ECLAZ ZEN (solar-control glass, g=0.45, reducing overheating periods by 34%), Selecta and Selecta S roofing glass (Ug 1.0 W/m².K), and COOL-LITE XTREME 61/29 for maximum solar control. These products are integrated as standard features in Metzger's ranges and are a central element of the thermal comfort value proposition. The ECLAZ ZEN is described as a 'strong commitment' by Metzger, equipped as standard, never as an option.
• Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation InstitutecoreTechnology or IntegrationThe Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute certifies the aluminum profiles used in Metzger's products under its material health and circular economy certification scheme. This certification is displayed prominently on Metzger's website as a key environmental commitment, ensuring profiles are infinitely recyclable.
• QualicoatcoreTechnology or IntegrationQualicoat is the international quality label for paint and lacquer coatings applied to aluminum profiles. Metzger uses Qualicoat-certified (and Qualicoat Seaside-grade for coastal/harsh environments) thermolaqué finishes, ensuring long-term corrosion resistance and color stability.
• Qualibat / Qualibat RGEcoreTechnology or IntegrationQualibat is the French certification body for building craftsmanship and energy efficiency. Metzger holds both Qualibat and Qualibat RGE (Reconnu Garant de l'Environnement) certifications, the latter qualifying customers for government energy efficiency subsidies and demonstrating expertise in thermal performance standards.
