40th anniversary celebrations

Frustrated by its suppliers performance and under the direction of Robert Oakley (Jim’s son), Mecmesin began to manufacture its own range of test equipment and over the years it has grown to become an internationally recognised supplier of force and torque test systems and instrumentation becoming a key supplier to thousands of companies around the world.   

The focus of the company has always been to provide innovative test solutions, which provide an affordable alternative to the many higher-priced systems on the market. This strategy enables both small and large businesses alike to undertake quality control checks on their products and materials, without compromising on precision and accuracy.  

With enviable organic sales growth over the last five years Mecmesin is now focused on developing its next range of products, based on the company’s new VectorPro technology platform, launching its first universal testing machine at Control 2017, the OmniTest 5.0.

Mecmesin remains a privately owned UK company, headquartered in Slinfold, West Sussex. 

Robert Oakley, Mecmesin group chairman, said: "With the investment made in our new VectorPro technology platform the Mecmesin group is now ready to develop a range of new and improved products that will enable us push as never before into new markets and applications delivering significant growth throughout the business.”
