As is often the trademark of many sucoessful enfrepreneurial beginnings
in Europe, MEC-GAR is the result of hard work and dedication
resulting in superior quality and service. Family pride, modern
equipment and proprietary manufacturing techniques are incorporated
into the formula that has made MEC-GAR the great
success story it is today.
MEC-GAR is a privately held family-run business that
was founded by Mr. Edoardo Racheli in 1965. Today Mec-Gar has become
to be known worldwide as the largest producer of fine quality rifle
and pistol magazines.
Our state-of- the- art stamping facility and tool shop, unlike many
other manufacturers, are 100% dedicated to the manufacturing of firearm
magazines. MEC-GAR's distinct advantage is as a "one-stop-shopping-center"
for technical design assistance, prototypes, tool design and development,
metal stamping and assembly.
Our manufacturing operations are housed in three modern facilities
with more than 50,000 square feet Iocated in both Gardone Val Trompia
and Gussago in the italian province of Brescia. Both Iocations are
easily accessible from airports and state highways.
MEC-GAR's primary manufacturing consists of a fully equipped
metal stamping department with automatic presses and automatic seam-welding
machines.
Our secondary in house capabilities include a state-of-the-art multi-modular
heat treatment installation working in a controlled atmosphere, a
vacuum vapor degreasing system, a superior mass metal finishing department
along with two automatic lapping machines.
MEC-GAR maintains and operates a professional in-house tool
and die facility. A fully staffed and mature design and building team
offers product engineering support and
diversified prototype development.
Our integrated CAD-CAM technology is employed at MEC-GAR
in order Io fabricate high precision compound dies and gauges designed
to meet the most stringent tolerance specifications.
We live by a policy mandating quality, which states that we are committed,
to the manufacturing of consistently superior quality magazines that
conform to or exceed customer tolerance speciflcations.
MEC-GAR has the distinct honor of being the original
equipment supplier for most of the world's Ieading firearms manufacturers.
It has additionally been awarded numerous Law Enforcement, Miuitary
and Government contracts throughout its history. Our greatest success
was to be qualified as the officiai supplier of the Beretta M9/92F
15 round magazine for the U.S Army and of the SIG P220-A1-7 round
for the Federal Agencies.
