Founded in 1956, Metrimpex was one of the big companies with a state monopoly for the foreign trade of machine tools and instruments. By 1989, the state enterprise exported instruments manufactured by some 200 companies to 60 countries and in return imported technical goods from 30 countries. In 1983, company turnover accounted for 4 per cent of Hungary's foreign trade.
The company lost its monopoly in 1989. With the collapse of COMECON, and the near-total loss of the markets for Hungary's machine tool industry, Metrimpex turnover shrank by 80 per cent within four years. Employment decreased from 585 in 1989 to 193 in 1994.
