Stacon

What Stacon does

Stacon (legal entity Stacon B.V., trading as Metaalzetterij Stacon) is a family-owned Dutch metal sheet fabrication company founded around 1979-1980 and headquartered in Nieuwleusen, Netherlands. The company specializes in long plate metalwork processing, offering six core services under one roof: afcoiling, slitting, shearing (cutting), bending, folding (kanten), and punching, executed on a modern park of CNC-controlled machinery with capacities of up to 8.64 meters for folding, 8 meters for punching, 6 meters for cutting, and 4 meters for bending. Materials processed include sendzimir-galvanized steel up to 3 mm thick, aluminum up to 2 mm across multiple EN AW alloys, and Magnelis-coated steel, finished with six Tata Steel Colorcoat pre-painted coatings in over 150 colors and variants. 3D CAD/CAM software is used for bending angle optimization and spring-back compensation to ensure dimensional precision.

The company generates revenue through project-based custom manufacturing contracts priced per quote, producing bending profiles, roof and facade profiles, and construction profiles to customer specifications. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with customers placing orders through the company website, phone, or email, and a downloadable order form available for repeat buyers. Stacon maintains its own logistics fleet for delivery of products up to 8 meters and covered storage facilities for inventory protection. The firm has 14 permanent employees, the majority with over 12.5 years of tenure, and runs an apprenticeship pipeline with OBM and ROC training partners. It holds no external investors, parent company, or public listing.

Stacon serves ten primary end-market verticals: agricultural mechanization, residential construction, facade renovation, chalet construction, machine building, wagon and trailer building, portable units and temporary housing, interior construction, shipbuilding, and roofing. All sales are generated within the Netherlands. The company's competitive positioning rests on long-plate processing scale, material inventory depth, in-house transport, and a long-tenured workforce with deep domain knowledge in construction-grade metalwork.

Revenue model

1. Custom Metal Fabrication Services: One-time custom metal fabrication services including afcoiling, slitting, shearing, bending, folding, and punching of steel, aluminum, and other metals. Services are priced per project based on specifications, materials, dimensions, and coatings selected. The company produces custom profiles and products rather than standardized inventory.
2. Custom Profile Manufacturing: Manufacturing of custom-made profiles including folding profiles, roof and facade profiles, construction profiles, and EPDM gutters. Products are manufactured to customer specifications for specific construction and industrial applications.
3. Materials and Coatings Supply: Supply of metal materials (aluminum, sendzimir galvanized steel, pre-painted steel, magnelis) and various coatings. Materials are available from stock or can be ordered specifically for projects.
4. Own Transport Services: The company provides its own transport capabilities for delivering products up to 8 meters in length to customers, particularly important for construction and facade projects.

Core offering

Stacon is a Dutch metal sheet processing company (Metaalzetterij) providing custom fabrication services including uncoiling, slitting, shearing, cutting, bending, folding, and punching of long steel and aluminum plates. The company also manufactures and supplies finished profiles (bending profiles, roof and facade profiles, construction profiles) for construction and industrial applications, with optional Colorcoat coatings and Magnelis corrosion-resistant material supply, plus its own transport service for delivery.

Product overview

Metaalzetterij Stacon is a family-owned metal fabrication company with over 45 years of experience, specializing in long sheet metal processing (lang plaatwerk). The company operates a modern CNC-controlled machine park offering six core metal processing services: Afcoilen (decoiling), Slitten (slitting), Knippen (cutting), Zetten (bending), Kanten (folding), and Ponsen (punching). Their product portfolio centers on three main product categories: Zetwerkprofielen (custom bending profiles), Dak- en Gevelprofielen (roof and facade profiles), and Constructieprofielen (construction profiles). The company offers six Colorcoat pre-painted steel coatings (HPS200 Ultra, Prisma, SDP 50, PVDF, PE 25/Polyester, PE 15/Interieurcoating) for corrosion protection and aesthetic finishes. Materials processed include Aluminum (multiple alloys), Magnelis (zinc-aluminum-magnesium coating), and Sendzimir galvanized steel. Their coatings are primarily supplied by Tata Steel under the Colorcoat brand. Products are fabricated to lengths up to 8.64 meters and serve diverse applications across construction, agriculture, shipbuilding, machine building, vehicle construction, and interior design sectors.
