What Metalprint does

Metalprint Srl is an Italian custom manufacturer of brass, aluminium, and copper forgings, headquartered in Calcinato, Italy, and founded in 1974. The company operates as the European subsidiary of MPJ Group, alongside Jebco in Canada, providing bicoastal production capacity across Europe and North America.

Its core offering is precision forging and advanced CNC machining of aluminium and brass components for safety-critical and high-aesthetic applications, supported by in-house heat treatment, assembly, quality control, and logistics. The product portfolio spans aluminium automotive parts (control arms, brake and gear pedals, structural components for premium motorcycles and sports cars) and brass components for water, gas, heating, and refrigeration systems.

Metalprint runs a B2B enterprise sales motion targeting automotive OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and industrial equipment manufacturers through direct engagement with engineering and procurement teams, supplemented by industry trade-show presence (e.g., EICMA with MV Agusta). Revenue is generated via quote-based hardware sales under long-term supply contracts, with no public pricing or revenue disclosure. Named customers include MV Agusta, Ducati, ZF, Kärcher, and Dihel, with the company's components featured on the Ducati Multistrada V4S that won European Motorcycle of the Year 2021.
