Custom automation machinery for cable, tubing, and plastics processing
Metzner designs and manufactures specialized processing machines for cable, corrugated tubing, rubber, and plastics — with a growing focus on high-voltage cable systems for e-mobility. The tech stack is entirely industrial-grade (Siemens PLC, Omron, B&R, SolidWorks, EPLAN) with no cloud or modern software infrastructure, reflecting a hardware-first business model. The hiring profile is engineering-heavy (14 of 18 open roles) and mid-to-senior dominant, suggesting Metzner is scaling design capacity amid high project volume and delivery deadline pressure.
