Horst, 23 September 2025 - Metalwire has joined Accent, the market leader in the United States in baling wire and tying systems. This collaboration marks an important step in Metalwire’s continued growth in Europe and underlines Accent’s ambition to take on a leading role in Europe, following its success in the United States.
Founded in 1986, Accent has grown into the largest supplier of baling wire and tying systems in the United States. The company provides complete solutions – from wire to equipment – and supports customers worldwide in recycling, waste management, distribution, and industry. Building on this leading position, Accent is actively expanding in Europe, with the integration of Metalwire representing an important next step.
What this means for Metalwire and its customers
For Metalwire’s customers, nothing will change in day-to-day practice. The company will continue to operate under its own name, and customers can rely on the same service, contacts, and delivery reliability as before. At the same time, joining Accent offers new opportunities for the future. Becoming part of an international market leader provides additional strength to further enhance Metalwire’s position and support its customers even better in the long term.
Strategic step in Europe
The acquisition of Metalwire is an important next step in Accent’s European growth strategy. Following earlier investments in, among others, the United Kingdom and Italy, Accent is further strengthening its presence in the European market. By combining forces, the companies create a solid foundation to expand their position and to introduce new solutions, such as plastic baling wire, to the European recycling and waste management sector. In doing so, Accent is clearly taking the step toward a leading role in Europe, in line with its success in the United States.
Peter Janssen, Managing Director Metalwire
“We are proud that Metalwire has become part of Accent. This step confirms the strong position we have built together and gives us the opportunity to continue supporting our customers in the future with the same dedication and reliability. For our employees and partners, the familiar way of working remains unchanged, while we benefit from the strength and experience of an international market leader.”
Hector Paredes, Regional Vice President & Managing Director Europe, Accent
“Metalwire joining Accent is an important step in our ambition to take on a leading role in Europe. Metalwire has an excellent reputation and a strong network in the market. Together, we are increasing our presence and can serve customers across Europe even better.”
With Metalwire joining Accent, a new chapter begins in which growth, collaboration, and continuity are central. The company remains true to its existing values and relationships, while benefiting from the strength and experience of an international market leader. This will soon be reflected in the introduction of a renewed corporate identity, marking the next step in Metalwire’s development.
