Metehe Oy, Joutseno: MTH CONCERTTO – Steel facade system

Metehe Oy, Joutseno, which specialises in the manufacture of steel sheet products, has developed and patented a new MTH CONCERTTO steel sheet facade system. It combines the best qualities of facade cassettes and profiled sheets. The new system opens a new use for custom-made and high-quality steel sheets as a coating material for inside and outside surfaces and inner roofs of buildings.

The new, widely patented and by design right protected production method enables a variable and vivid division of panels. The panel sizes in different product versions are flexible, and the form can be either square or rectangle. Besides flat facades, MTH CONCERTTO is very suitable also for curved ones. A patent (Pat. No. 110849) has been granted for the product and the production method in Finland, and a design right in the EU territory (RCD 171152-0001 – RCD 171152-0006). In addition, applications for international patents for the system have been filed in the EU territory, the United States, Canada and Russia.

The MTH CONCERTTO system provides significant gains in construction design and assembly time, as well as in the visual outcome. The number of cut edges in the product has been minimised and there are no even horizontal surfaces that collect dirt. In addition, the compact and continuous structure provides excellent soundproofing. The product can be fastened to steel studding or wooden frame. MTH CONCERTTO can be installed both vertically and horizontally, and by combining different colours, building-specific goals can be achieved. The products are designed, dimensioned and produced individually for each project.

Metehe Oy was established in 1998 and it specialises in the import, further processing and sale and marketing of steel sheets. Besides the patented facade system, the company makes a comprehensive range of high-quality roof and wall profiles and their spin-offs as well as delivers steel sheets in different forms for the industry using steel sheet products. Metehe Oy:s strategic plan is to develop its own production and products and to market them directly to clients for use in their applications. The company employs 17 persons and more than half of the turnover comes from exports. The new, widely patented MTH CONCERTTO sheet steel facade system gives rise to highly positive views for expanding the company’s operations to new international markets.
