MEC Networks Corporation

What MEC Networks Corporation does

MEC Networks Corporation is a privately held ICT distributor headquartered in Quezon City, Philippines, founded in 1995 by Merrick Chua. The company distributes enterprise networking, cybersecurity, unified communications, and surveillance products from more than 30 global brands — including Fortinet, HPE Aruba, Ruckus Networks, Huawei, H3C, Mitel, Sonicwall, Axis Communications, and Lenovo — through a nationwide network spanning Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. It holds authorized distribution agreements with each brand and reaches end customers via more than 1,000 channel partners and approximately 800 active resellers, supplemented by direct enterprise sales to telecommunications providers, large enterprises, and government institutions.

MEC's revenue is generated primarily through hardware resale margins on ICT equipment, complemented by value-added professional services including system design, deployment, network management, and technical support. The company has recently expanded into software distribution via its Lenovo software partnership (November 2024) and into own-brand infrastructure products through the Metros sub-brand for data center and enterprise cabling. Strategic vendor partnerships announced in early 2026 with Huawei eKit (SME digital transformation) and Entropy Technology Philippines (telecommunications and enterprise connectivity) indicate a deliberate broadening of customer segments beyond traditional enterprise resellers.

The company operates with 101–250 employees across a headquarters in Cubao, Quezon City and a regional office in Cebu City. It is founder- and family-controlled, with Merrick Chua as President, Maureen Chua as Executive Vice President, and Sheryl Go as Senior Vice President for Sales. MEC has received continuous vendor recognition including Distributor of the Year awards from Ruckus Networks, Sonicwall, HPE Aruba, Fortinet, and NEC spanning 2009 through 2025, and has operated for 30 years without disclosed institutional investment or acquisition activity.
