GT Invest and Metavan Reels, specialists in the production of metal coils for the steel wire industry, are working together to achieve profitable and sustainable growth for the future.
Metavan Reels’ mission is to be No. 1 in custom metal coils (width, sheet thickness, diameter, colors and finish). Managing director Francis Vanhaelewyn automated the Wielsbeke production facility almost completely to maximize both production efficiency and the quality of the finished coils. This makes the company a competitive player on the national and international market. Metavan Reels’ main competitive advantages are competitive prices, guaranteed quality and fast delivery time to national and international customers.
GT Invest has taken a majority stake in Metavan Reels, and will actively participate in profitable growth and product diversification in the coming years. ‘It is a real pleasure to step into a healthy company like Metavan Reels,’ says Steve Tourlouse of GT Invest. ‘The fundamentals are right: a state-of-the art production site, a strong team and lots of opportunities to expand the customer portfolio. So that is what we will focus on in the near future.’
‘I have put my heart and soul into Metavan for more than thirty years,’ Francis Vanhaelewyn also says. ‘It’s inspiring to work with the young team at GT Invest, their healthy ambition and diverse skillset is exactly what Metavan needs to grow further.’ SDM-Valorum accompanied Francis Vanhaelewyn on this transaction.
