What MESCO does
MESCO, Inc. is a Philippine-incorporated, privately held industrial equipment distributor and precision manufacturer founded in 1956 by Peter N. Lee as Manufacturers' Equipment and Supply Co., and formally incorporated under its current name in 1973. The company distributes metalworking machine tools, metrology equipment, cutting tools, hydraulic components, air compressors, servo products, and industrial consumables, holding exclusive distribution rights in the Philippines for tier-1 international principals including Mazak, Amada, Mitutoyo, Mitsubishi Electric, and Tsugami, with a portfolio exceeding 50 partner suppliers. MESCO is the only Mitsubishi dealer in the Asian region operating a Renishaw Laser and Ball Bar calibration system, and operates a 1,000+ square meter Technology Center with more than 30 machine tools for demonstrations and training. The company is organized into seven profit centers (Cutting Fluids, Cutting Tools, Sheet Metal Machinery, Manufacturing, Metrology, Metal Cutting Machinery, and Hydraulics & Air Compressors), each with dedicated sales, service, and administrative teams, and provides in-house financing, engineering assistance, production and tooling analysis, technical training, and after-sales service.
MESCO also operates an ISO 9001:2015-accredited MESCO Manufacturing division covering 1,300 square meters of precision machining capacity in Laguna, offering lathe machining, 5-axis machining, grinding, assembly, and finishing services to the machine tool, hydraulic, and semiconductor industries. The manufacturing division has shipped over 100,000 sets of leveling blocks to Yamazaki Mazak since 1989 and exports to six countries (USA, UK, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Australia). The company runs an ISO/IEC 17025-compliant metrology calibration laboratory and a 70-person training seminar room, and maintains a 2.4-hectare property purchased in October 2014 for future operational transfer. MESCO is family-controlled, currently led by Allen Lee following the 2004 death of founder Peter N. Lee. The business model is B2B equipment distribution combined with contract manufacturing and recurring technical services, with revenue generated through one-time capital equipment sales, professional services (calibration, training, cutting fluid management), and contract manufacturing exports.
