INTRODUCING A NEW WORKSTATION SERIES THAT TAKES FUNCTIONALITY TO NEW HEIGHTS
Since its inception, Metalia has been involved with the production and design of storage solutions for service bays and mechanical maintenance areas.
But the Chambly, Que.-based company has launched a new heavy-duty workstation that isn’t just durable — it also looks good.
Pierre-Olivier Benoit from Metalia’s marketing department said the thinking behind the new WRS workstation series is to keep the workspace as clean, efficient and organized as possible, with the end goal of having a service department that looks good and can be shown to customers.
One notable aspect of this new WRS series is the surprising weight capacity of the drawers: almost 200 kgs (440 lbs), 10 per cent higher than the industry standard.

Other key details include a new, patented, aluminum handle design which incorporates a digital lock; full height drawer sidewalls; an eight digit code digital locking system offering keyless benefits; rolled edge drawer faces and the possibility of incorporating efficient lighting for work surfaces and inside drawers.
As part of this big launch, a fully redesigned website is in the works. It features web-based 3D configuration tools that allow customers to tailor specifications and visualize their own installation.
The company has also recently opened a production plant in Mexico that will give the company a strong competitive advantage in the Mexican and Southern U.S. markets.
But much of the final assembly work remains in Canada, offering Metalia and its customers the best of both worlds.
