What MEIKO does

MEIKO is a privately held global technology and service company founded in 1927, headquartered in Germany and operating across 30 countries with more than 2,000 employees. The company designs, manufactures, and services professional warewashing, cleaning, and disinfection equipment for commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, and fire service organizations. Its product portfolio spans undercounter, door-type, pot, flight-type, and rack conveyor dishwashers; healthcare washer-disinfectors for utility rooms (bedpan, urine bottle, and instrument cleaning); and specialized PPE cleaning systems (SCBA masks, respirators, and firefighter gear) under the MEIKO Protect line. Differentiated technology includes the M-iQ platform with intelligent air management and filtration, ComfortAir and Waste Air Heat Recovery systems, oscillating wash pipes, and patented BA mask cleaning heads.

MEIKO operates an enterprise go-to-market combining a direct sales force (e.g., MEIKO USA, Inc. in La Vergne, Tennessee), a global dealer and distributor network, and a certified service partner ecosystem supported by the MEIKO PartnerNet portal. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of capital equipment, complemented by recurring after-sales services — preventative maintenance, spare parts, installation programs, and warranty. The customer base is diversified across at least ten verticals including HORECA, healthcare, fire service, marine, inflight catering, food processing, education, and equipment rental. Recent strategic activity has centered on the MEIKO Protect fire-service vertical, including North American team expansion (April 2026), the FV 130.2 with Waste Air Heat Recovery product launch (May 2026), and the MEIKO Grant Assistance Program for fire departments (September 2026), alongside recognition through the National Restaurant Association 2026 Kitchen Innovations Award.
