Grupa Kety signs EUR 645 million Metra deal: what it means for Grupa Kety stock
Published on 10/06/2026 at 17:26 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Grupa Kety (ISIN PLKETY000011) signed an agreement to acquire Metra at an enterprise value of EUR 645.0 million, according to White & Case on September 17, 2026. The transaction would expand the Polish aluminum group through a vertically integrated producer with operations in Italy, the United States and Canada.
Metra adds scale and financing
The acquisition is subject to customary regulatory conditions, while a maximum PLN 2.0 billion credit facility was arranged to finance the transaction, White & Case said. The deal therefore combines a EUR 645.0 million enterprise value with additional leverage capacity, making execution and financing costs important variables for the investment case.
GPW identifies Grupa Kety as a group operating across Extruded Products, Aluminum Systems and Flexible Packaging, with products and services sold in more than 50 countries. The combination with Metra would add further aluminum profile capacity and geographic reach to that existing structure.
Third-quarter figures support the deal
Grupa Kety estimated third-quarter 2026 revenue at PLN 1.615 billion, up 11.60 percent from PLN 1.447 billion in the third quarter of 2025, according to Bankier. Estimated EBITDA reached PLN 325.0 million, 10.20 percent above the PLN 295.0 million reported for the comparable quarter.
Estimated net income attributable to the parent company was PLN 201.0 million, up 14.20 percent from PLN 176.0 million a year earlier, but EBITDA was PLN 0.5 million below consensus and revenue was PLN 48.2 million above consensus, based on the figures reported by Bankier. The company plans to publish its final third-quarter 2026 report on October 26, 2026.
