Meccon

What Meccon does

Meccon Industries, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned industrial mechanical and process construction contractor founded in 1978 and headquartered in Lansing, Illinois. The company specializes in the installation of mechanical, process, and utility piping for facilities where mechanical/process work is dominant or critical — primarily serving aviation fuel infrastructure, refinery and chemical plants, automotive manufacturing, water and wastewater treatment, steel production, and broader industrial mechanical scopes across the United States and selectively in Canada.

The company’s core offering is end-to-end industrial mechanical construction supported by in-house fabrication at two buildings totaling more than 15,000 SF (plus an additional 6,000 SF available for special projects), producing UA-stamped piping systems and equipment skids in carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, fiberglass, chrome alloys, nickel, hastelloy, and aluminum. Meccon holds ASME R, S, and PP stamps accredited by ASME and the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors (NBBI), enabling code-stamped pressure piping, power boilers, and pressure vessel work under B31.1, B31.2, and B31.3 standards. Craft execution is delivered by a direct-hire Local #597 Pipefitter Welders workforce with Certified Welding Inspectors, supported by a comprehensive NDE program (radiographic, magnetic particle, penetrant, PMI, delta ferrite, and Brinnell hardness testing) and operator qualifications for DOT-regulated piping systems.

Meccon generates revenue through lump-sum competitive bids, Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contracts, and cost-plus negotiated fee arrangements, acting in both prime/general contractor and specialty mechanical subcontractor roles. The go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise field sales, anchored by long-running client relationships with major airlines (American, Delta, United, Southwest), refineries (BP, Valero, Sunoco, Husky), airport authorities and the Port Authority of NY & NJ, BOC Gases/Linde, and municipal agencies (Hammond Sanitary District, MWRD, City of Chicago). Annual construction work volume exceeds $60 million; individual project contracts have reached $79.6M (Philadelphia International Airport), $54M+ (BP Whiting), and $38M (JFK), and cumulative aviation project work exceeds $400M since 1982.

Revenue model

1. Construction Contract Services: Meccon generates revenue as a general contractor and mechanical subcontractor on industrial construction projects. Contracts are structured as lump-sum competitive bids, Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) agreements, and cost-plus negotiated fee arrangements. Revenue is project-based and derived from labor, equipment, materials, and subcontracted scope management.
2. Prime/General Contractor Contracts: As prime contractor on major aviation fuel system projects (e.g., Philadelphia International Airport $79.6M, JFK $38M, LaGuardia), Meccon manages the full project scope including direct-hire workforce and subcontractor coordination, generating revenue from the total contract value.
3. Mechanical Subcontractor Services: Meccon acts as a specialty mechanical subcontractor on large refinery, chemical, and energy projects (e.g., Husky Refinery Lima 3, Ameren Energy Wet FGD), providing self-performed piping, boilermaker, structural steel, and millwright work.
