Metelec UK is part of Gindre Duchavany, Europe’s largest manufacturer of copper extruded bars. Our relationship with Gindre allows us to provide extensive product capacity to meet our customers’ growing needs.

We are one of the UK’s largest distributors of copper bars, busbars, copper profiles and copper components.

With a turnover of more than £30 million, we are a trusted supply chain partner to a growing number of switchgear specialists. We serve a wide variety of sectors including general construction, hospitals, commercial buildings and data centres.

At the heart of our success is continuous investment in facilities. In 2021 we invested £250,000 in new punching and bending machinery. In 2023 there was a further six-figure investment in state-of-the-art CNC bending machinery. Investing in specialist machinery is supporting the rapid growth of our components business.

We recognise that product quality is paramount to our customers. All stock items are traceable back to producer certification in accordance with BSEN ISO 9002:Pt2 2015.
