Haver Plastics supply Metpro VCI Packaging products into all the major UK Automotive companies, (including BMW, Nissan, Toyota, and JLR); into UK tier 1 and 2 component suppliers; and into UK engine manufacturers (including Ford, Perkins and Cummins Engines). We also supply VCI bags into aftermarket component packers and export shippers.
When looking for a VCI Supplier whose products could handle the constraints of the global shipping and storage our customers required, we had no hesitation in approaching the MetPro Group, as the largest European VCI Supplier, and the most technically proficient. Metpro’s laboratory in Ireland and PHD accredited Corrosion Scientists have provided excellent support for our customers, enabling them to validate the recommended VCI packaging, prior to use.
Haver Plastics has worked exclusively alongside Metpro for over 20 Years, predominantly with VCI polythene products but also with VCI paper, foams, emitters and liquids, and all the Metpro protection products do exactly as described – they protect metal parts in storage and transit.
Metpro VCI products are the only global VCI suppliers whose products are manufactured from natural ingredients, their VCI is food grade approved, and this means our customers get the most occupationally safe VCI available worldwide.
MetPro offers the full manufacturing product cycle from Concept and Design, through to Extrusion and Converting.

BioCor^® has stood for reliable corrosion protection on a natural basis since 2014. We have now further developed this proven formulation. The new BioCor^® offers even more extensive protection against corrosion. In addition to steel, cast iron, aluminium and aluminium alloys, zinc, lead, tin and magnesium, copper, brass, bronze, silver, nickel, titanium and chrome are now also protected.

At MetPro, we are continuously looking for more environmentally friendly solutions. That's why environmental protection was also a priority in the further development of BioCor^®. In addition to our proven classic, BioCor^® CF, we have developed BioCor^® HP - a high-strength film with reduced thickness. It offers reliable protection even under heavy mechanical stress and at the same time reduces packaging waste. The films of the BioCor^® R Series contain up to 75 % recycled material from high-quality post consumer waste, thus ensuring enormous CO₂ savings and a significant improvement in the environmental balance.

And there's something else that's new: our BioCor^® corrosion protection films are now available in standard formats, resulting in better availability and shorter delivery times.

You can find more information about the Series 300 BioCor^® here.

MetPro Verpackungs-Service GmbH and deosend UG are working together on a new, innovative solution for protecting sharp-edged metallic goods that is not only functional but also particularly environmentally friendly at the same time. The new VCI-based packaging solution is to be made of cellulose and cotton blend fabric, will be compostable and will offer the usual reliable and natural corrosion protection of BioCor®.

Both MetPro Verpackungs-Service GmbH and deosend UG have qualified experience in the development of sustainable packaging solutions. The company deosend UG has previously developed systems for the protection of plants. Since this material has excellent properties that are also suitable for protecting metallic goods, it is now being examined in cooperation with MetPro whether it is possible to expand the product portfolio to include VCI systems. MetPro is the ideal partner for adding a natural corrosion protection, BioCor®-VCI, to the environmentally compatible fabric made of cellulose and cotton blends. Initial tests show high puncture resistance, high moisture absorption capacity in the cotton, and advantageous thermal recovery, with no significant residues remaining on the goods to be protected. After further tests, the new solution could be used, for example, to protect coils, as paper gussets for heavy-duty applications, as inlays or as cartons and trays.

If the subsequent tests produce further positive results, a market launch is expected by the end of 2022.
