What Metos Aktsiaselts does
Metos Aktsiaselts (Metos AS) is the Estonian operating subsidiary of Metos Oy Ab, a Finnish professional-kitchen group with roughly 100 years of heritage and approximately 350 professionals at the parent level. The Estonian entity itself operates from a warehouse and distribution center in Loo (Harjumaa) with approximately 30 specialists and a website at metos.ee. It serves Estonian business customers and public entities with a full equipment-and-services stack: cooking (iCombi combi-steamers, Viking kettles, iVario multi-functional systems, frying and grilling lines), preparation (vegetable slicers, mixers, Spar universal drives, meat processing), refrigeration (More Eco units), dishwashing (Master Aqua), coffee (Egro Next automatic espresso, ComBi-line thermal brewers, OptiBean fully automatic systems, Modbar), and accessories such as WKI water boilers and the MWR 5n beverage warmer.
Its revenue model blends one-time equipment sales — transacted via direct sales, the metos.ee webshop, and warehouse pickup — with professional-services attach including kitchen planning and design, on-site installation (delivery, disconnection of old unit, connection to existing utilities, packaging removal), user training by an in-house chef/training specialist, and recurring maintenance and repair (1-year warranty plus a 24/7 hotline). Pricing is published in euros with EXW Loo terms, a €25 transport fee below a €2,000 order threshold (free shipping above), and a Company Account subscription-style invoicing tier (7-day net) for registered business customers. Distribution is single-country domestic (Estonia only); the webshop explicitly does not ship elsewhere.
Customer segmentation is vertical-driven and covers restaurants and cafés, staff canteens and catering, central/production kitchens, central-kitchen satellite distribution, marine and offshore galleys, and retail/bakery stores. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales, an inside-sales phone/email desk, and a direct-to-consumer-style e-commerce flow, supported by social channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn) and a Metos Center training/demonstration facility. The company is privately held under Metos Group alongside sibling subsidiaries in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Latvia, and Lithuania; no funding rounds, M&A activity, or public-offering events are disclosed.

Metos Aktsiaselts competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Electrolux Professional: Global manufacturer and direct seller of professional kitchen equipment (cooking, refrigeration, dishwashing). Comparable to Metos as a broad-line commercial-kitchen vendor serving foodservice operators, though Electrolux Professional is a manufacturer at vastly larger scale.
- Hoshizaki Europe: Manufacturer of commercial ice makers, refrigeration, and beverage equipment. Comparable as a complementary/competing brand to Metos's Cherry ice machines and More Eco refrigeration line, often distributed via similar channels.
- Ali Group (parent of multiple kitchen brands): Italian-owned global conglomerate owning dozens of commercial-kitchen equipment brands. Comparable as an upstream supplier/competitor ecosystem to Metos's multi-brand distribution model.
- Welbilt (now Ali Group / Manitowoc Foodservice brands): Large multi-brand commercial kitchen equipment manufacturer (Convotherm, Merrychef, Garland, Hoshizaki). Competes with Metos across combi-ovens, cooking, and refrigeration categories via brand partners or direct OEM channels in Nordic-Baltic markets.
Direct peers
- Rational AG: Manufacturer of iCombi combi-steamers and iVario cooking systems, both of which Metos distributes in Estonia. Direct competitor to Metos's flagship product lines and a benchmark for combi-steamer market dynamics in the region.
- Meiko (commercial warewashing): Major manufacturer of commercial dishwashing and warewashing equipment. Directly comparable to Metos's Master Aqua dishwasher category, often distributed through kitchen-equipment partners in Europe.
- WMF Professional (Groupe SEB): Manufacturer of professional coffee machines and tabletop/buffet equipment, overlapping with Metos's Egro and Modbar coffee categories and buffet/serving solutions.
Regional players
- Martinson Group (Marvaco / Martinson): Estonian competitor in commercial kitchen equipment supply and installation, serving similar foodservice customers in Estonia. Most directly comparable geographic and segment peer for Metos Estonia.
- Stork (Stork Kitchen Equipment): Estonian/Baltic commercial kitchen equipment distributor and service provider. Directly comparable as a regional peer competing for the same Estonian institutional and restaurant customers.
Emerging players
- Franke Foodservice Systems: Provider of commercial kitchen systems including ventilation, preparation, and warewashing solutions. Comparable in product scope to Metos's kitchen-system integration offering for institutional and restaurant customers.
