As we approach the end of 2025, it’s clear that this has been an extraordinary year for Metador. We’ve experienced remarkable growth, not only in our overall success but within each of our departments. It has been a year defined by progress, collaboration, and innovation, and we’re more excited than ever to continue exceeding expectations alongside our valued customers in 2026 and beyond.
So, what exactly has 2025 brought us?
A New Online Home for Metador Ltd
At the start of the year, we proudly launched our new website!
Countless hours went into designing and refining a platform that is intuitive to navigate, rich with product information, and offers easy access to request quotes and explore everything Metador.
Building on the rebrand introduced in 2024, the new site reflects who we are today and strengthens the way we serve our customers.
Introducing Our LPS 1175 C5 (SR3) Issue 8 Doorset
A significant milestone this year was the launch of our C5 steel doorset, expanding our offering within the LPS 1175 certification family. We remain committed to broadening our product range and reinforcing our reputation as a trusted solutions provider.
Expanded Manufacturing Capabilities
With demand continuing to rise, 2025 has been a year of scaling our manufacturing operations. We strengthened our teams across every stage of production, enhanced training, introduced new machinery, and refined workflows for efficiency.
These developments have enabled us to maintain the quality Metador is known for, minimise disruption, and position ourselves for future growth.
Growing Our Internal Team
To support increased enquiry levels and uphold our high service standards, we expanded our internal teams. This growth ensures faster responses, deeper expertise, and stronger support for our customers.
A Sharpened Strategy
Throughout the year, we held multiple strategy days and workshops that involved the entire Metador team. These sessions helped us align our goals, refine our approach, boost collaboration and ensure we continue moving forward as one unified team.
A Busy and Successful Exhibition Year
In 2025, Metador attended four major exhibitions and several smaller events.
Highlights included ATLAS, The Security Event, FIT Show, and Design in Mental Health, where we exhibited for the first time, showcasing new product developments for the healthcare sector.
These events enabled us to connect with existing and prospective partners, showcase our latest innovations, and engage with professionals across the industry.
Looking ahead to 2026, keep an eye out for where you can find us; one confirmed event already is The Fire Safety Event 2026!
Outstanding Achievements in R&D
Our R&D team has been incredibly busy throughout 2025, undertaking an extensive testing programme to further enhance our fire, security, thermal, and acoustic-rated steel doorsets.
Our mission remains unwavering: to manufacture solutions that offer complete peace of mind through robust compliance, certifications, and accreditations.
This year brought many successful tests that expanded our capabilities, along with some invaluable lessons from failures, each one helping us build stronger, better-performing products.
We will continue this momentum into 2026, developing even more options to meet the evolving needs of your projects.
Introducing Metador’s New State-of-the-Art Powdercoating Plant
This year, we installed our brand-new powdercoating plant, a significant milestone we were eager to see in action.
It’s been fantastic to see our investment take our steel door operations to the next level.
By bringing powdercoating under our own roof, we now control the whole process from start to finish, maintaining our quality standards, shortening lead times, and delivering an even better experience for our customers.
It’s another step forward in our commitment to innovation, efficiency, and excellence.
We’ve already welcomed many customers on factory tours, and their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Why not come and see it for yourself? You’ll have the chance to see the impressive powdercoating plant in person and meet the teams who support your order from concept to completion.

Extending Our CNC Capabilities
We also expanded our CNC department by adding a new CNC Punch Press. This upgrade has significantly increased efficiency and strengthened our ability to deliver the exceptional quality we’re known for.
It’s another significant investment that ensures we can continue to deliver your orders exactly when you need them.
Many Metador Meet & Eats
Alongside our professional achievements, this year has been filled with memorable moments. Our team events, bringing together colleagues from across the country, whether remote or HQ-based, have helped strengthen our shared vision of one team, one mission.
These Meet-and-Eats have brought us closer together, creating connections that make our success possible.

Overall, this year has been a tremendous success, and we can’t wait to see what 2026 brings.
