Metrics Holdings is a holding company owned by Hiten Shah and his family. We are based in Columbus, Ohio with investments (majority and minority) in a variety of industries, geographies, and companies.
Metrics Holdings seeks to become long-term partners with exceptional management teams and employees who share our goal of significant long-term growth while simultaneously leaving a lasting and positive impact on the communities in which we operate. We are an investment and business development group with a diverse portfolio of companies that span the globe.
Our world is broken up broadly into five areas:
Supply Chain and Sourcing Companies
We operate a variety of supply chains, sourcing, manufacturing, and software companies.
These companies sell engineered components to industrial, electrical, lighting, automotive, agriculture, and green energy markets. This group is widely built under the leadership of our founder, Hiten Shah, and a talented management group including some family members as well. This group includes Supply Chain and sourcing companies in the US (MES), Mexico (Metrics Mexico Trading Group), Poland (Euro Metrics), China (Ningbo Metrics), Vietnam (Metrics Vietnam), and Japan (Metrics Japan).
Teams tend to have country-specific management teams and have a variety of sourcing engineers, quality engineers, project engineers, Human Resources, and finance groups.
Investments and Partnerships
We partner or invest in a variety of funds, projects, and assets which are run by professional managers.
These are spread across various asset classes including residential real estate (Encore funds), commercial real estate (KKR, Blackrock), hospitality projects (Rockbridge), and Private equity funds (NCT, Drive Capital, Stonehenge, Bluehenge, Night Dragon Cyber Security Funds), Start-up funds (Sadie Investments, Kae Capital, Rev 1 ventures, Ohio Angel Fund) and Selected specific company investments (DoMedia, United Midwest Bank, Riverside Bank of Dublin). We are especially proud of our investments in value investor Mohnish Pabrai’s funds (PIF 3 – Pabrai Investment Funds, Junoon India funds).
Manufacturing
Group operates manufacturing plants in Illinois and Saltillo, Mexico.
This area is likely to grow to support a variety of industrial and automotive customers. While primarily in the machining business, we look to invest in extrusion, die casting, powder coating, and other machining facilities in India and Mexico.
Software Ventures
This is the group’s newest activity. We started down this path by opening MESH Works in the fall of 2021.
MESH Works is focused on improving the work lives of buyers, sourcing teams, commodity managers as well as quality teams in factories all over the world. This group is also working on building one-of-a-kind sourcing platform with audits conducted by its own engineers for foundries, forging plants, machining plants, extrusions, and coating factories around the world. We go live in Jan’ 2023 with 1000 factories in 12 countries with a lot more ahead. MESH Works also has a company in India with talented and motivated software development engineers. We are looking to add software engineers in Europe as well as US and Mexico down the line.
