I found the following metric tapes on the Stanley website.  I recently
purchased a Stanley 5 m metric tape at Sears (Montgomery Village, MD).
Every Sears may not have them (they were not on the Sears webpage).



You might be able to get tape measures customized with metric blades and
your company's logo by various tape manufacturing company (e.g., U.S. Tapes
(http://www.ustape.com/), Cooper Tools/Lufkin, LS Starrett, etc.).
