Meco Atlanta

What Meco Atlanta does

Meco Atlanta is a Georgia-based petroleum and industrial equipment distributor serving retail gas stations, convenience stores, commercial fleet operators, industrial and agricultural companies, transportation businesses, and government/military customers across the Southeastern United States. The company sells, installs, and services a full portfolio of fueling infrastructure including Gilbarco fuel dispensers, Gilbarco Passport point-of-sale systems, Red Jacket submersible pumps, Veeder-Root tank monitoring and electronic line leak detection systems, OPW nozzles and breakaways, CREE and LSI LED lighting, Gasboy fleet dispensers, Fill-Rite transfer pumps, and Goodyear dispensing hoses. All MECO branches are Gilbarco-certified, and the company maintains authorized distributor relationships with major petroleum equipment OEMs.

The business operates a hybrid distribution model combining four Georgia retail/service branches in Doraville (Atlanta HQ), Albany, Macon, and Savannah; a mobile warehouse-on-wheels service (MECOmobile) running tri-weekly routes through Georgia, North Florida, and South Carolina; a full e-commerce storefront; and a 24/7 certified field-service technician network providing installation, repair, EMV compliance upgrades, slow-pumping troubleshooting, and POS servicing. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, professional installation services, recurring maintenance and repair contracts, and equipment financing facilitated through partners Patriot Capitol Financing and Ascentium Capital. Meco Atlanta is a subsidiary business within the broader MECO system (founded 1952 as MECO of Savannah, parent Metal Equipment Company, Inc.), family-owned with Scudder-family leadership, and traces 70+ years of operating history, two prior asset acquisitions (Sunbelt Hose and Equipment 1990; Florida Equipment Sales 1999), and geographic expansion across GA, AL, FL, SC, and NC.
