MCI Technology

What MCI Technology does

MCI Technology (legal name: MCI TECHNOLOGY Automation & Service S de R.L de C.V.) is a 100% Mexican, privately held industrial automation integrator founded on July 30, 2014, and headquartered in Tlaxcala, Mexico, with a regional branch in San Luis Potosí. The company designs, manufactures, and commissions turnkey ("llave en mano") automation systems — assembly stations, Poka-Yoke error-prevention stations, machine-vision quality inspection, electrical and leak testing stations, traceability systems, autonomous mobile robots for internal logistics, and collaborative robotic cells — using PLC/HMI programming, CAD/CAE mechanical and electrical design, and multi-vendor robotics (KUKA Diamond Partner, ABB, Stäubli, Fanuc, Motoman). Its commercial base is anchored by Tier-1 multinationals in the automotive sector — Huf, Tenneco, Magna, Faurecia, Grammer, TI Automotive — alongside Berry Global, Euwe Wexler, Coca-Cola Femsa, and Saint-Gobain in adjacent manufacturing verticals including food, cosmetic, electrical, and pharmaceutical.

Revenue is generated through project-based, custom-engineering engagements sold via a direct enterprise sales motion, initiated by a free technical consultation and delivered as multi-year turnkey contracts with quote-based, per-project pricing; no standardized tiers or public pricing exist. The go-to-market is sales-led with a regional field presence (Tlaxcala and Bajío offices) targeting OEMs and Tier 1–3 suppliers, supported by content marketing, social channels, regional industry forums (Foro de Proveeduría Tlaxcala 2022), and inbound via structured website contact channels. Certifications include ISO 9001:2015 (quality) and EcoVadis (sustainability/ESG), and the company is 51–100 employees.

The company is led by CEO Marco Arzate, who has undertaken strategic international development including a Japan expedition coordinated by JICE to study Kaizen methodology and Japanese industrial best practices. Operating geographies are Mexico and the USA with no disclosed external investors, parent, or subsidiary entities.

Core offering

MCI Technology designs, develops, and manufactures custom industrial automation systems on a turnkey ('llave en mano') basis, covering technical assessment, mechanical and electrical design, PLC/HMI programming, assembly, commissioning, and validation. Its portfolio includes assembly stations, poka-yoke error-prevention systems, artificial vision stations, quality testing stations, traceability stations, robotic cells (collaborative robots from KUKA, ABB, Stäubli, Fanuc, Motoman), AMR for logistics, measurement stations, and special-purpose machines. Solutions are delivered to OEMs and Tier 1-3 suppliers across automotive, food, cosmetic, electrical, and pharmaceutical sectors primarily in Mexico with a stated vision to also serve the USA.

Product overview

MCI Technology is a 100% Mexican industrial automation company founded in 2014, offering comprehensive turnkey automation solutions. The product portfolio is organized into five main technology categories: (1) Assembly Technologies including assembly stations, special process machines, and manual mounting stations; (2) Quality Testing Technologies encompassing traceability stations, artificial vision systems, and measurement stations; (3) Logistics Technologies featuring AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robots) and robotic cells for handling, palletizing, and pick-and-place; (4) Poka-Yoke Technologies for error prevention including custom poka-yoke stations and fixture manufacturing/integration; and (5) Robotics Technologies including collaborative robots (Kuka Diamond Partner, ABB, Staübli, Fanuc, Motoman), laser inspection/marking cells, screwing cells, and ultrasonic welding cells. All solutions follow an end-to-end process from technical assessment, through mechanical and electrical design (using CAD/CAE software), PLC/HMI programming, poka-yoke integration, and remote monitoring implementation, to final commissioning and validation.
