SAFETY IS PLANNABLE
MEC stands out with its own product design, matching patents and reliable after-sales service. “We make safe- ty plannable and as a result calculable. We cover almost all customer needs. Our staff are also skilled in upgrad- ing existing systems,” adds Lennart Horstmann.
PROTECTION FOR THE RORO BUSINESS
MEC not only takes care of container safety, but also offers fixed and loose lashing equipment for RORO/ PCTC vessels. “Utilizing flexible manufacturing capa- bilities, we fabricate custom-dimensioned lashing fit- tings in cast or welded designs for stationary on- board installation. All structural details are closely coordinated with the shipbuilder to ensure efficient and technically sound implementation,” explains Cor- dula Ahlers. “We offer car and truck lashings in a wide variety of permissible loads, colours, lengths and with
customer-specific I.D. printing. Further, lashing chains, trailer horses and many more articles are part of our product portfolio,” states the sales boss.
MEC is active in many more areas similar to container and RoRo lashings. The company has been expanding parts of its production in Europe over the past two years. This has made it possible to maintain deliveries during the supply bottlenecks of recent years. Mean- while, MEC products are being manufactured with customer-specific requirements in Europe and, as a consequence, participation in research projects to op- timize existing systems.
After the turbulent years of the Corona Pandemic, the company is on an expansion course and will be mov- ing this summer to larger premises in Hamburg’s Bahrenfeld district.
