MCA

What MCA does

MCA Group (legally MCA MANAGEMENT SAS, also operating as MCA Ingénierie) is a privately held European engineering and technology consulting firm headquartered in Levallois-Perret, France. The firm deploys approximately 1,200 expert consultants across eight countries — France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Sweden and a nearshore hub in Tunisia — and has operated in the European consulting market for roughly 30 years. MCA serves enterprise clients in nine verticals: aeronautics/space/defence, energy, banking/finance/insurance, medical and life sciences, IT/telecom/digital, infrastructure, rail, mobility and retail. Delivery is organized around four service lines: Product Engineering (embedded systems, mechanical design, validation & verification, connectivity and process engineering), Manufacturing (Industry 4.0, automation, digital twins, robotics, IoT and machine vision), IT & Digital (data intelligence, cloud, applications lifecycle and infrastructure management) and Cybersecurity, operated through the SEC-IT sub-brand founded in 2016 and PASSI-certified by French cybersecurity agency ANSSI since 2020.

The company has no proprietary software product. Its core technology is its bench of specialist consultants and the certifications and methodologies that allow it to operate inside highly regulated client environments — including ANSSI PASSI for sensitive French cybersecurity audits, ISO 27001, and compliance expertise across DORA, NIS2, GDPR, Basel III and Solvency II. The SEC-IT subsidiary (offensive and defensive security, pen-testing, governance) and the OneLayer Sentry Partner founding membership (announced 2026-04-28) for private 5G security are the main technology-adjacent differentiators. SEC-IT is the only identified sub-brand alongside MCA Ingénierie.

MCA's business model is professional services consulting on a project-based or time-and-materials basis, with pricing determined quote-by-quote per scope, sector, consultant seniority and duration and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, supported by sector-specific pages on the corporate website, a careers/jobs portal that doubles as a talent-acquisition and demand-generation channel, and local offices in each country. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no funding history is on record; the legal entity is a private limited company (RCS 879 738 086) with private ownership and no disclosed parent.
