In 2006, after a long research, Metalnox increased its business with the purpose of attending the furniture and decoration market. This new area of Metalnox then started to produce aluminum pullers. Metalnox Puxadores has established itself on the market with a modern and high quality line and improved continuously in manufacturing and selling this product. The pullers became a success and with the increasing demand, Metalnox Puxadores expanded its installations and a new factory with a manufacturing capacity for 10,000 pullers per shift was built.
