MECO was founded in 1928 as Mechanical Equipment Company, Inc. In 1939, our future became crystal clear with the patent of the vapor compression process for the desalination of seawater. In the years to follow, MECO earned additional patents in the area of water purification.

As our experience in this area grew, so did the number of products and services we offered to clients. Today, we provide the broadest range of purification technologies of any company in the world.

An international presence.

MECO provides engineering and service with staff located in Abu Dhabi, Scotland and a network of international agents.
