Who are we?

Metal is our element - people are our strength

With every cut, weld and construction, we write a story of quality. But the most important part of our story is the people we create together.

Struge 23, 1353 Borovnica

Our journey began in 1979, when Franc Marinčič started his independent path, equipped with a wealth of experience and knowledge gained over the years. Over time, not only our knowledge has grown, but also our company. Today, our team consists of 30 experts, each in their own field. We have successfully completed projects of all sizes in many countries of the European Union, but we have a particularly strong presence in the German market, where we have designed and implemented many complete residential neighbourhoods and their details.

OUR

MISSION

Our mission is to build spatial foundations that last. We believe in craftsmanship, where every detail counts. Because progress is where steel supports life.

But in all this, we often forget about the progress that is not written in software code, but in the steel, in the space, in the structure that gives people security. We forget that the real future is not only built on innovation, but also on the foundations we lay today - literally.

We believe that progress is also about being able to sit in peace on a new bench, under a roof that protects you from the rain. That somewhere there is a corner where architecture and people meet - not for the sake of being nice, but for the sake of having a space that can withstand time, weather and life.

For us, these are no small achievements. These are the victory points of civilisation. Where space is ordered with thought, where construction stands for a reason, where steel supports not only the building but also people's everyday lives - that is where we see our role.

In a world where attention is lost in speed and flash, we swear by a different logic: slow mastery. Precision that you feel in every joint. Responsibility that is embedded in every weld. We do not compromise. Because in constructions, mistakes are not an option - they are a risk we do not allow ourselves to take.

History has taught us what superficiality means. We know where a lack of quality leads. And that is why we - without noise, without big words - keep building, day after day. With faith that every detail matters. That one steel structure can mean the difference between instability and centuries of strength.

We may never make headlines. But we know that behind every safe construction is an invisible victory - a victory of knowledge, respect for craft, and a deep human concern for the future.

That's why progress is not a fad here. It is a silent commitment. It is a decision to deliver every project as if it were the most important in our history. Because maybe - just maybe - it will be.

OUR

VALUES

At Metallmar, we believe that values are the foundation of any good construction - just as steel holds a building upright, we are guided by the principles behind every project. Our work is not just technical - it is a personal commitment to quality, responsibility and respect for the craft.

QUALITY

Our greatest value is quality. This is realised throughout the entire process - from the selection of the highest quality materials, through precision manufacturing, to the final installation. We constantly strive to achieve the highest standards and exceed expectations, ensuring the highest level of quality on the market, perhaps even more than we have ever offered before.

SAFETY

Safety is one of our core values. We are committed to providing a safe working environment for our employees - both on the shop floor and in the field. In addition to protecting our workers, we also ensure the safety of all other stakeholders involved in our projects. We provide our workers with the highest quality equipment that effectively protects them while they work. At the same time, our quality installation and products ensure the long-term safety and reliability of the facilities we co-create.

CREATIVITY

Although it seems that we have achieved everything with iron, we disagree. Iron is an extremely flexible material that can be shaped in many different ways and used in many different situations and designs. It is an indispensable element that can be found in our private interiors and gardens, as well as in everyday life when we are transported in iron vehicles. The design possibilities are almost limitless, allowing us to create unique products that have never been tried before. We stand by our customers who want something more and are ready to push the boundaries of innovation!

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

We are committed to sustainable development and responsible management of natural resources. As part of our environmental responsibility, we focus on reducing our negative impact on the environment and actively use recycled materials in our projects. This not only reduces waste, but also contributes to conserving natural resources and reducing our carbon footprint. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in every step we take - from the choice of materials to the final execution. We believe that by acting responsibly, we can achieve high-quality results that are in harmony with our planet.

USER EXPERIENCE

At the heart of our work is the customer and their unique needs. We are committed to creating personalised solutions that accurately reflect our clients' wishes, vision and specific requirements. We treat each project individually, believing that a personalised experience is the key to satisfaction. Our attention to detail and listening to our clients' needs allows us to create products and services that not only meet, but exceed expectations. We believe that a great customer experience is not only the result of quality products, but also of taking care of our customers throughout the entire process - from the initial idea to the final implementation.

CERTIFICATES AND AWARDS

Certificates are key to ensuring the quality and reliability of our products and to meeting international standards and industry requirements.

They certify that our processes, products and services comply with the highest industry standards, giving our customers and partners confidence in our ability to deliver world-class solutions. Certificates not only validate our technical and manufacturing capabilities, but also our commitment to safety, sustainability and innovation in all phases of production.
