Your specialist in affordable tensile testing equipment

Who is Mecmesin?

A leading designer and manufacturer of tensile testing equipment for over 35 years, Mecmesin offers precision test instruments and systems that are accurate, reliable and excellent value for money.

Operating under ISO 9001 quality standards, Mecmesin tensile testing equipment is widely used to measure the strength of manufactured products: cables and tubing, textiles and stitching, couplings and connectors, joints and crimp fastenings, industrial fixings and fasteners. But they are also used to measure the force required to open a container, flip a cap, pull a stopper, open a drawer, etc.

Since the shapes and features of manufactured products are so variable, and can be awkward to grip without deformation, Mecmesin frequently designs custom fixtures to suit users' individual products.

A Global Company

Founded in 1977 by Jim Oakley, an accomplished design engineer, Mecmesin remains a privately owned company. From our base in Slinfold, West Sussex, United Kingdom we have expanded globally and now have regional offices in the United States, China, Thailand and France.

We also have a global network of distributors in more than 50 countries, able to provide local technical expertise and after-sales support to customers. Our focus has always been the provision of high quality test solutions as an affordable alternative to the expensive systems available. This enables small and large businesses alike to undertake quality control tests on their products without compromising on precision and accuracy. The rugged design of our systems means that they can withstand tough factory conditions. Tests can be performed at the point of production rather than having to use expensive laboratories to ensure consistent manufacture.
