About METCO

Ralph Knower founded METCO in 1979, working out of a small garage and concentrating on servicing petroleum equipment and installing fueling systems.

Today METCO is still a family run business. Company headquarters are in Hillsboro, Wisconsin in a 10,000 square foot facility that is substantially larger than Ralph's garage. The company has seen tremendous growth during the past 25 years.

Over the years METCO has diversified to meet continuing demands of its customers. Today, METCO provides general contracting services and continues to install fueling systems for commercial fleets, county highway shops, hospitals, military facilities, airports, marinas, schools, and prisons and, of course, retail locations.

In addition, METCO offers environmental services. Our Environmental Division located in La Crosse, Wisconsin, provides consultations and services for: PECFA applications and management; leaking underground/aboveground investigations; dry cleaning and chemical investigations; remedial system construction and maintenance; and contaminated soil over excavation. METCO also provides site assessments, soil sampling, and groundwater sampling.

METCO's customers benefit from dealing with one company for all of their fuel system, environmental services and construction needs. Whether the job is big or small, we take a common sense and cost effective approach to finding the best solution for the project.
