What UAB does

UAB MeTec is a Lithuanian private limited company (UAB) and the first foreign manufacturing subsidiary of the Martin Group, a German family-owned metal-forming conglomerate founded in 1967 by Günther and Helga Martin. Established in 2011 in Vilnius/Skaidiskes, the company operates as a precision metal stamper, former, and assembler serving global automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, accompanying vehicle programs from initial concept and prototyping through tooling, serial production, and surface treatment. The Lithuanian facility is one of five production sites in the Martin Group, which collectively employs approximately 900 people across Germany and Lithuania.

UAB MeTec's core technology stack centers on metal forming using hydraulic, mechanical, and modern servo presses rated up to 800 tons of pressing force, combined with an integrated portfolio of joining technologies (gas-shielded welding, spot welding, projection welding, brazing, riveting, screwing, gluing, flanging, clinching), in-house toolmaking (CNC, EDM, coordinate measuring machines), and CAD-CAE-coupled design with simulation-based feasibility analysis. Its product portfolio spans four primary lines: stamped and formed parts, welded and riveted components and assemblies, components for electric mobility (battery housings, busbars, motor parts), and complete mechatronic functional units (pop-up roofs, tables, roof flaps, lifting systems) that are functionally tested on dedicated benches before delivery. The company achieved IATF 16949:2016 certification in 2022, qualifying it for global automotive supply chains.

Revenue is generated via project-based, contract-negotiated B2B sales of custom-engineered components and assemblies, with multi-year program commitments aligned to vehicle life cycles and a direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting OEMs and Tier-1s. Distribution is direct, with no intermediary layer, and pricing is quote-based per specification rather than publicly tiered. Recent strategic activity includes concrete 2021 plans for an expanded Lithuanian plant, the commissioning of automated robotic assembly cells in 2019, and a 2025–2026 EU NextGenerationEU co-funded 300 kW on-site solar power plant project (up to EUR 112,709.10) that signals both operational efficiency investment and successful public-funding capture.

Core offering

UAB MeTec develops and manufactures precision stamped, formed, and deep-drawn metal components and assemblies for the global automotive industry. Its offering spans the full product lifecycle — from concept development, CAD/CAE design, and prototyping, through in-house toolmaking, serial production on servo presses up to 800 tons, multi-technology joining (welding, brazing, riveting, screwing, gluing, flanging, clinching), and surface treatment/corrosion protection. MeTec also supplies dedicated components for electric mobility (e-motor parts, battery housings, busbars) and complete mechatronic functional units delivered ready-to-install.

Product overview

UAB MeTec is a metal forming specialist providing a unified portfolio of automotive components and assemblies. The core offerings include Stamped and Formed Parts (precision metal stamping, bending, and deep drawing), Welded and Riveted Components (multi-technology assembly joining), Components for Electric Mobility (EV parts including battery housings and busbars), and Functional Units (complete mechatronic systems). The company accompanies vehicle development from initial concept through series production, offering complementary competencies in prototyping, toolmaking, serial production, joining technologies, and surface protection.

Broad incumbents

• Benteler International: Austrian-headquartered automotive Tier 1 with a large steel and aluminum components division producing chassis, body, and engine/exhaust components via stamping, hydroforming, and welding. Overlaps with UAB MeTec on body and chassis stamping but operates at significantly larger scale with broader portfolio.
• Magna International (Body & Chassis): Global automotive mega-supplier whose Body & Chassis group produces stamped and welded assemblies, closures, and structural modules for global OEMs. Directly competes in stamping/joining but at vastly greater scale and with broader electronics and powertrain adjacencies.
• Voestalpine Automotive Parts: Division of Austrian steel giant Voestalpine producing precision automotive components including stamped and roll-formed body parts, chassis, and e-mobility components. Overlaps with UAB MeTec on precision metal stamping and EV components but is a far larger, vertically integrated steel group.

Direct peers

• Metalsa: Mexican Tier 1 automotive metal structures manufacturer producing frames, side rails, cross-members, and battery trays through stamping and welding for global OEMs. Comparable mid-sized metal forming specialist now expanding into EV battery structural components, similar to UAB MeTec's e-mobility pivot.
• Linamar Corporation: Canadian Tier 1 automotive and industrial supplier with a substantial metal stamping and fabricating division serving global OEMs with body, chassis, powertrain, and e-drive components. Comparable scope on metal forming and assembly services plus active diversification into e-mobility.
• Martinrea International: Canadian automotive metal forming, joining, and assemblies supplier serving North American and global OEMs with body structures, chassis modules, and fluid management systems. Directly comparable mid-sized Tier 1 metal forming specialist with similar product portfolio and customer-driven model.
• Kirchhoff Automotive: German family-owned automotive supplier specializing in metal forming (stamping, welding, assembly) of body-in-white structures, chassis, and cross-car beams. A particularly close European peer given the German family-ownership, Tier 1 supplier model, and focus on stamped/welded assemblies to OEMs.
• Gestamp Automocion: Spanish-headquartered global Tier 1 automotive metal forming specialist producing stamped, welded, and assembled body-in-white, chassis, and mechanisms for the same OEM customer base that UAB MeTec serves. Closest direct comparable in terms of product scope, customer set, and serial-production metal forming capability.
• Shiloh Industries: US-headquartered specialist in lightweighting and noise/vibration solutions through aluminum and steel stamping, welding, and assembly for global automotive OEMs. Comparable Tier 1 metal forming specialist with similar product breadth in body-in-white, chassis, and EV-related components.

Regional players

• Yorozu Corporation: Japanese automotive metal stamping specialist producing suspension, chassis, and body components primarily for Japanese OEMs. Comparable product portfolio and Tier 1 supplier model but operates primarily in Japan and serves a different OEM customer base than the European-focused MeTec.
