Our story

A Piece of Australian History

Founded in 1891, Metters was a family business incorporating the talents of three Metters brothers; Fredrick, Charles and John. Collectively they utilised their skills to design and build a range of high-quality solid fuel stoves; manufacturing and distributing across the country to Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide & Perth.

By 1908 Metters was a household name. Building upon their reputation for quality, and with their ever-expanding national distribution network, the Metters brothers seized the opportunity to diversify their manufacturing base. Metters then expanded into gas & electric cooking appliances, wood heaters, agricultural equipment and an increasing range of household appliances and accessories.

Many Australians today still hold the original Metters wood-fired stoves dear, this article published by the ABC The enduring charm of Metters wood stoves tells the story of how some people are still enjoying their early Metters stoves today.
