MEC switches

Located in Ballerup (a suburb of Copenhagen), Denmark, 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. We have been a member of the APEM group since 1998. 

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.
