OUR BEGINNING
Metro Corporation was founded in 1976 by Mike Pope. Originally named Metrowood Specialties, the company’s primary pursuit was wood fabrication for the glass and automotive industries. Since that time, we have expanded to include three companies with a total of seven facilities, all under the umbrella of Metro Corporation. With the leadership and direction of current owner Craig Pope, we feel our continued growth and success has been based on our exceptional customer service, the quality of our products, and our ability to stay competitive. With locations across the country, we are able to provide prompt deliveries with the highest level of quality.
