Lanex Manufacturing Inc., a leader in precision machining and fabrication, has acquired METALOQ’s patented steel structure prefabrication technology, introducing an innovative modular construction solution to the market. METALOQ’s pre-engineered “frame kit” system is designed for mass production and customization, allowing builders to assemble frames in-house or on-site in a knock-down form, improving efficiency for construction companies of all sizes.

The intuitive assembly process of METALOQ frames allows a small team with basic tools to erect the structures without specialized tradespeople or complex fixtures. This precision-engineered design ensures consistent tolerances for seamless CNC-driven fit-outs, accelerating construction timelines and ensuring uniformity across projects.

The scalability of METALOQ is a major advantage. Standard configurations allow for stackable, non-combustible buildings from four to ten stories, while heavier frame versions with braced cores enable structures exceeding thirty floors. This versatility makes METALOQ suitable for residential, commercial, and high-rise applications.

Based in Windsor, Ontario, Lanex Manufacturing is known for precision machining, fabrication, and steel cold-forming. By acquiring METALOQ’s technology, Lanex is enhancing its offerings with sustainable, fire-resistant, and cost-effective building solutions for the offsite construction industry.

• Safety & Sustainability – Made from cold-formed steel, METALOQ frames provide fire resistance and durability, aligning with modern, sustainable building practices.
• Faster Construction – The intuitive design allows for rapid assembly, reducing project timelines and lowering labor costs.
• Cost Efficiency – Streamlined manufacturing and assembly result in significant cost savings for developers and contractors.
• Consistent Quality – The kit-based supply model ensures standardized, high-quality components, facilitating large-scale, rapid deployment.

Lanex is not only supplying modular frames but is also exploring sublicensing and self-production agreements with strategic partners to expand METALOQ’s impact in the construction industry. By fostering collaboration, the company aims to accelerate adoption and innovation in modular and prefabricated construction.

For construction firms involved in prefabrication or volumetric modular manufacturing, METALOQ offers a transformative solution that streamlines construction, reduces costs, and enhances quality. In an industry where time, efficiency, and sustainability are critical, METALOQ—backed by Lanex Manufacturing’s expertise—sets a new standard for modern construction, driving the next era of modular building innovation.
