About us

Founded in 1998 by Octavian Petric, METALPET grew from a small workshop with four conventional machines into a manufacturer producing over 4,000 part types per year. Direct exporting, begun in 2004 to Germany and the Czech Republic, drove the diversification of our range.

The production hall in Satu Mare: the row of CNC lathes.

Milestones

  1. 1998 The company is founded in a workshop with four conventional machines, one heat-treatment furnace and one grinding machine.
  2. 2004 The start of exporting: the first direct deliveries to Germany and the Czech Republic, covering more than 150 part numbers. The product range diversifies and the workshop grows to 380 m².
  3. 2019 The hall is extended to 800 m². The machine park was built up gradually, over the years, not in a single year.

How a collaboration starts

Four steps, in the order they happen. They are set out here so the route is known before the first drawing is sent, not after.

  1. The drawing and feasibility

    The drawing is read and held against the machine park: diameter, length, material, tolerances, surface finish. Where a dimension sits at the edge of the envelope or calls for a second set-up, this is stated before the quotation, not after the first article. A limitation raised at the start costs less than one discovered at the end.

  2. The quotation

    The quotation is sent with price and lead time within 48 hours. It also names the machine group the part runs on and the order of operations - which is where the structure of the price shows, and where it could be reduced if the drawing allows.

  3. The first article

    Before the series, a first article is produced with a dimensional report. Where a dimension cannot be held as drawn, the discussion is held on the drawing, with the measurement beside it - no silent corrections and no delivery on the assumption that nobody checks.

  4. The series

    Every batch ships with its 3.1 or 3.2 material certificate and a dimensional protocol. Traceability runs back to the heat number of the material, so a part delivered three years ago can still be reconstructed.

How we work

Performance

We invest continuously in machines and in the people who run them.

Integrity

We say what we can and cannot do. An honest quotation is worth more than a missed deadline.

Long-term partnership

Our oldest customers have been with us for more than twenty years.
