History
In Ardooie (Belgium), in 1971, Frans Devos founds the one-man business Metal Company Frans Devos, which becomes Metafox in 1983.
Shortly afterwards, the tube range is extended with designing and
producing functional furniture for banqueting rooms, hotels, caterers and hire centres.
As from 1994, Metafox concentrates on 2 business units:
• Metafox Hospitality Contract Furniture (www.metafox.be)
• Metafox Subcontracting. (www.metafoxsubcontracting.be)
As Metafox attaches great value to quality and service, the company continually invests in personnel, new production technologies and new products.
This allows Metafox to grow rapidly in both business units. Without losing track of customer satisfaction, Metafox aims to strengthen her leading market share.
From the 65,000m² production plant in Ardooie (Belgium), 20,000m² of which is covered, more than 60% of the production is exported throughout the world.
Quality
Continuity and creating long term customer relationships are key concepts for Metafox. As Metafox is part of the solid family group Icarus, this can be guaranteed.
Thanks to a thorough innovation and training policy, currently a team of 73 motivated employees guaranties high quality Belgian products with the Metafox quality label.
