The company

Established in 1977, Mecmesin is a British company specialising in the design and manufacture of force, materials testing, and torque measurement equipment for quality control. Mecmesin is part of the Physical Properties Testing (PPT) group, a multi-national holding company.

Based near Horsham, West Sussex, the company has expanded globally with subsidiary companies in France, Germany, Thailand, China, and the USA. Mecmesin have a global network of exclusive distributors in 50 countries, who provide customers with local technical expertise and after-sales support.

Mecmesin provides high quality test solutions that are an affordable alternative to the many higher-priced systems available. This enables small and large businesses alike to undertake quality control checks on their products without compromising on precision and accuracy. The rugged design of these systems mean they can withstand tough factory conditions and perform tests at the point of production, rather than having to use expensive laboratories to ensure consistent manufacture.
