Meet Mecon

Founded in 1997, Mecon is an engineering design and fabrication company providing turnkey solutions for organisations in, among other sectors, the steel and mining industries in northern Sweden. The company is based across two locations, Luleå and Gällivare, also in northern Sweden.

It works often with clients who may have depended on long-established ways of undertaking certain processes but had never found alternatives. Mecon challenges this acceptance of ‘the way things are done, accompanying its clients on a continuous journey of innovation.

Mecon focuses on delivering improved ways; more customised structures or machines than the standard solutions that clients often adopt. To sharpen this focus, Mecon was looking for technology that could ease the calculation process involved in designing the highest safety standards and ensuring the resistance of its products to the harshest operating environments.
