Metkon

Metkon is a family-owned staffing agency based in Rotterdam that supplies skilled workers for industrial maintenance. It was founded in 2011 and provides contractors with painters, sprayers, blasters and metallisers. Its specialisations are grit blasting, mist blasting, metallising (TSA), construction painting and spraying. The workers it places already hold the Basisveiligheid basic safety diploma, and the painting work it describes takes place in petrochemical and shipbuilding plants.

Metkon employs the workers itself and sends them out to clients on a project basis. It aims for permanent contracts and says more and more people stay with it until retirement. It fills both temporary and permanent positions. It says it works with the largest contractors in the Netherlands and has had close ties with many clients since its founding.
