Metaltex kitchen and household products

Metaltex is a global leader in the design and manufacture of household products, specifically focusing on kitchenware, storage solutions, and laundry care. Founded in 1945 by Egidio Wullschleger in Mendrisio, Switzerland, the company initially specialized in small household products made of wire. Over the decades, it has expanded its catalog to include a vast array of wire, plastic, and metal products that organize the modern home.

While the brand maintains its creative and administrative headquarters in Switzerland, its manufacturing footprint is global to meet international demand. Metaltex operates its own specialized manufacturing facilities in Italy, China, and previously other locations, ensuring high-quality standards for its signature Polytherm and Chrometherm coatings. The brand is recognized for its space-saving innovations, particularly under-shelf baskets and modular storage racks.

Today, Metaltex remains a family-owned enterprise, managed by the second and third generations of the Wullschleger family. It operates through a network of subsidiaries across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, ensuring that its products are available in over 80 countries worldwide. The company's commitment to durability and functional design has solidified its position as a staple in the household goods market.
