Metafin Powder Coating Business

Client Problem

Metafin, based in Walsall, Midlands, faced several critical challenges in managing their energy use. Their primary problems stemmed from a lack of clarity and control over their utility consumption, specifically:

• Compliance & Regulation: The need to meet necessary regulatory and compliance standards.
