I went to the Sears store mentioned below last night. I found an 8 m/26 ft measure, and a 30 m/100 ft measure, but nothing that was metric only.

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.).
