About MetrixSlide
Built in 2003 to make custom server rails accessible — without the OEM-tax or month-long lead times.
Twenty years of engineering rails the right way
MetrixSlide was founded by a small team of mechanical engineers who were frustrated with what the data-center industry called "standard" rails. We thought every rack deserved a kit that fit perfectly the first time — and that a chassis factory ordering a few hundred pairs shouldn't be quoted like a hyperscaler, forced into thousands-of-pairs minimums, or locked into one supplier's ecosystem.
Today we run an ISO 9001-certified manufacturing base in Hunan, China, with large-scale stamping, roll forming and tooling capability supplying integrators, chassis manufacturers and contract manufacturers in over 60 countries. Whether you need a hundred drop-in replacements or a bespoke slide for an in-house server, we'll engineer, manufacture and deliver it on schedule.
What we believe
- Flexible by default. Bracket, hole-pattern, length and thickness changes with no tooling (NRE) fees and no MOQ on flexible customization.
- Engineering first. Send a chassis drawing and get a rail fitment proposal back within 24 hours — reviewed by a real mechanical engineer.
- Precision you can install. Chassis-side hole tolerance held within ±0.08mm, plus a dual-lock anti-drop structure and 24-hour static load testing.
- Tier-1 quality, factory-direct. Server-grade performance with competitive EXW pricing and honest lead times — without the brand premiums and delays of old-guard vendors.
Manufacturing capability built for OEM projects
From high-strength steel selection to stamping, roll forming, tooling and final rack deployment — every stage runs in-house for consistent quality and reliable bulk supply.
Rail Manufacturing Workshop
We design and manufacture high-performance server rail systems for AI infrastructure, GPU servers, liquid-cooled platforms, telecom equipment and enterprise data centers — with large-scale stamping, roll forming, tooling and OEM development capability under one roof.
Raw Material Control
Cold-rolled and galvanized steel materials are carefully selected to support stable structure, corrosion resistance and long-term durability under high load.
Stamping Workshop
Progressive stamping delivers high-volume rail components with consistent hole patterns and stable forming quality for OEM-scale manufacturing.
Roll Forming Production Line
In-house roll forming achieves stable rail profiles, consistent dimensions and improved load-bearing performance across every production run.
Tooling & Precision Manufacturing
Custom dies and project-based tooling enable bespoke hole patterns, fast prototype development and private-label OEM products.
Real Rack Deployment
Engineered for standard 19-inch racks and enterprise environments — 1U/2U servers, 2U–4U storage and GPU systems, network switches and custom rack-mounted devices.
Proof you can check
Quality-system certification, an invention patent on anti-sag slide structure, and the rack standards applied on every drawing we issue.
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System
Certified quality management system for slide rail processing, covering incoming material, stamping, assembly and final inspection.
ISO 14001 Environmental Management
Environmental management system certification covering the rail manufacturing site.
Patented Anti-Sag Slide Rail Structure
Invention patent for a slide rail structure that resists sagging at full extension, applied in our heavy-duty rail development.
EIA-310-D · IEC 60297-3-100 / -105 · OCP Open Rack V3
19-inch (482.6 mm) rack and 1U chassis dimensions, square / round / threaded post holes, and 21-inch ORv3 payload interfaces.
From cold-rolled coil to packed rail kit
Cold-rolled steel strip is roll-formed into rail members, mounting slots and keyholes are punched in progressive dies made in our own tooling workshop, and every kit is assembled, inspected and packed for export.

The story behind the mark
Every line in the logo is a rail profile, and every colour says how that rail performs.
Two rails, one letter
The M is two bent rail profiles nested together, the way an inner member rides inside an outer member.
- The offset short rail is the inner member sliding out: extension, travel, a server pulled forward for service.
- Navy stands for load and reliability: the outer member that carries the weight.
- Bright blue stands for precision and engineering: tight tolerances and the work behind every custom drawing.
"Metrix" (measurement) and "Slide" (motion) read as one idea: precision in every slide.
