From high-end architectural fit outs to everyday needs and restoration, this family business does it all
FOR over 60 years, MEWO Metal Products has stood as a symbol of exceptional craftsmanship and innovation in specialised, custom metal fabrication.
Founded in 1962 by Dutch coppersmith John Schoots, the family-run enterprise has seamlessly blended traditional artisanry with modern techniques, creating a legacy that spans four generations.
Evolving through the generations—from John to his son Jack, to new family proprietors Peter, Steven and Nikki, the metal specialist is committed to delivering bespoke solutions to a broad range of clients from concept through to conclusion.
Rooted in the values of hard work, loyalty and adaptability, the business is renowned for its diverse capabilities, servicing high-end architectural fit outs, undertaking custom automotive and marine metal works along with the specialised restoration of copper, brass and silverware, adeptly resurrecting beautiful objects of old.
Cutting, bending, rolling and joining metal to create breathtaking staircases, balustrades, boat furniture, hot rod rims and beyond, the enterprise combines intergenerational skill and knowledge to craft metal works that not only harness the businesses’ European and Australian heritage but honours it.
Notably completing projects that include the Park and Grand Hyatt, Melbourne Casino and The Langham, the business also caters to local needs, flexibly partnering with clients (and contractors) to design and fabricate works that range from outdoor kitchens, dog vans, carports and beyond.
Housing one of only four sheet metal V Grooving machines in the country, MEWO Metal Products not only embraces technology for precise and heavy-duty metal work but offers oxidising services for tailored and resplendent finishes.
Reflective of MEWO Metal Product’s enduring ethos, Nikki said,
“Success and endurance stems from the Schoots family’s unwavering commitment to family values, grit, hard work and loyalty. Each generation has embraced the ability to diversify and adapt, evolving our business to meet changing times and requirements. This balance of tradition and innovation has been the key to the continued success of MEWO.”
