    From Mecaplastic to Mecapack

    The unique concepts we have developed in-house and the partnerships we have established, explain much of the growth we have enjoyed so far. Here are a few of the milestones from this success story.

    The early years

    • 1947 : The original precision-engineering workshop was inaugurated.
    • 1955 : The first injection moulds and purpose-engineered machines emerged from that workshop.
    • 1959 : ECM (Etudes et Constructions Mécaniques) was established in Paris. Later branched out into pill-blister heat-forming, heat-sealing and cutting machinery.
    • 1967 : ECM introduced the first thermoforming packaging and food vacuum-packing machine.
    • 1969 : Mecaplastic SA was founded to handle the sales and after-sales side of the business.
