SINCE 1938
DANISH DESIGN
IN-HOUSE R&D AND PRODUCTION
IN-LINE QUALITY CONTROL
Since its foundation in 1938, MEC has been making state-of the-art
electromechanical components.
Located in a suburb of Copenhagen, Denmark, MEC has earned a
reputation as one of the leading European manufacturers of high
performance tactile switches.
A wealth of know-how has been built up over the years for the
benefit of innovative product development and custom solutions.
Despite the trend of outsourcing it has been MEC policy to maintain
a high degree of vertical integration that enables us to react
promptly to customer requests. 98% of all the parts used in MEC
switches are produced in-house.
With 100% in-line inspection, tight tolerance on all parts and use
of only quality materials we position ourselves to reach the highest
achievable level within high performance tactile switches.
The vertical integration combined with a strong R&D facility enables
us to provide custom designs from conception to completion.
To be part of a sustainable industrialised world environmental
consciousness is crucial. At MEC we have substituted materials
to more environmental-friendly alternatives and are recycling as
much as possible. Legal authorities are auditing our environmental
management system regularly and confirming that our goal is being
reached. All MEC products are RoHS compatible.
MEC have a well established global distribution network that
provides a presence in all parts of the world where electronic
manufacturing takes place. Through close contact and continuous
product training offered to our distributors we maintain a highly
qualified and responsive global distribution network.
