VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 13, 2014) - Metrie™, the largest manufacturer of interior finishings in North America, announced today the launch of Metrie2 - Made to Measure - a first-of-its-kind division dedicated to providing custom trim and millwork design solutions, and industry-leading service to the hospitality industry and multi-dwelling unit developers.

Combining heritage, quality and service, Metrie2 is the first company in North America to present the hospitality industry and multi-dwelling unit developers a one-stop-shop for trim and millwork with a trained staff of designers and product experts. Metrie2 offers interior finishings solutions, assistance and support at every step, from rendering to jobsite. Another strength of the company is its domestic manufacturing base, with hardwood, softwood, and MDF and specialized plants located throughout North America.

"This new division of Metrie serves as a hub for unique and innovative design ideas allowing contractors, designers and architects to select their trim and interior finishings from coordinated collections or create custom solutions to help make their design visions possible," says Goldman.

Clients can choose to create custom shapes from a wide range of wood species and materials, select from more than 5,000 individual architectural mouldings and access Metrie's Then & Now Finishing Collections™. Each coordinated design collection is inspired by a different architectural style and blends elements of modern and classic design. The collections include:

- Metrie™ French Curves™ Collection

- Metrie™ True Craft™ Collection

- Metrie™ Very Square™ Collection

- Metrie™ Fashion Forward™ Collection

- Metrie™ Pretty Simple™ Collection

Metrie2 will be unveiled at an innovative exhibit at this year's The Hospitality Design Exposition & Conference show in Las Vegas. The exhibit will be located at booth 2883 from May 14 - 16.
