Applications and Products

Located in Ballerup, Denmark, a suburb of Copenhagen, MEC has earned a reputation as one of
the leading European manufacturers of high quality switches with exports worldwide.Since its foundation in 1938, MEC has been making state-of-the-art electromechanical components.
Today we are focusing on continuous innovation to maintain our position as leader in the segment of high end PCB mount push button switches. By always choosing the best possible solution, whether it is a design principle, a material or a manufacturing process we maintain and improve our sustainable high quality level. With this approach a wealth of know-how has been built up over the years for the benefit of new product development and custom solutions.

The concept is unique and yet is standardised by the selection and use of common building blocks. With MEC standard switches you can create your own unique design.
The three lines of modular switches, illumec™ , multimec®
and unimec™, have been designed to meet different electrical and mechanical specifications.
Customer satisfaction is the basic standard by which mec judges its performance as a switch
manufacturer. This is achieved by the fully automated production process that includes automatic
inspection of all switch modules and in-built quality control functions that ensure the highest possible production standards. This provides the quality that mec customers have come to expect from unimec™ and multimec® switches.
MEC switches are distributed worldwide through a network of more than 35 authorised national
distributors.

We strive to maintain the highest possible quality standard though our QA system. With100% in-line inspection, tight tolerance on all parts and use of only quality material we position ourselves to reach the highest achievable.
To be a part of a sustainable industrialized world environmental consciousness is the key. At MEC
we have been substituting 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.
RoHS conversion has been completed for all switches. To manage the inventory in the complete
supply chain a separate part number system has been established. All parts today are RoHS compatible.
Since 1998 MEC has been owned by APEM S.A., a global switch manufacturer with headquarter in
France. To learn more about APEM S.A please go to www.apem.fr

MEC operates as an autonomous company with its own network of distribution.
