Descriptiontext

MECHA AG is a privately held Swiss precision engineering and machine-building company headquartered in Belp (canton of Bern), founded in 1985 by Christian Rohr and operating under second-generation management led by Lukas Rohr. The firm operates two integrated business lines. The first is contract manufacturing (Lohnfertigung), encompassing CNC turning, 5-axis milling, turn-milling/multitasking on Okuma Multus B300 W and B400 W centers, and assembly of complete machines up to 8 tonnes in a 400 m² assembly hall. The second is a proprietary automation product platform, the Depot-Line 7000, comprising DepotMax (patented 'butler' palletizer for up to 600 workpieces), DepotMini (compact parts separator for statistical process control on sliding head lathes), DepotVacuum (vacuum unloading for micro-parts 0.2-10 mm), DepotPallet (up to 300 spaces per pallet), and DepotBox (paternoster-style automatic box changer), plus the Multipax label packer for snack multipacks. MECHA's stated differentiator is deep expertise in rust-proof and acid-resistant metallurgy (stainless steels 1.4539/1.4404, nickel alloys, titanium) for regulated pharmaceutical, chemical, medical, and food applications, supported by ISO 9001:2015 certification.

Revenue is generated through project-based one-time contract manufacturing engagements, hardware sales of the Depot-Line 7000 family, and engineering/professional services from concept through commissioning. Pricing is project-specific with no public catalog. Go-to-market is sales-led: direct from Belp for Swiss contract-manufacturing work and for larger turnkey projects, and through a network of six European general-agency channel partners (Germany, Hungary, Spain, Italy, France, Sweden) for Depot-Line 7000 equipment across continental Europe. End markets are diversified across pharmaceutical/biotechnology, chemical/process engineering, watchmaking and microtechnology, medical technology, and food packaging. The company has documented international project deliveries to China and Brazil. With a headcount in the 11-50 band, a single-site Swiss footprint, family ownership, and no disclosed funding rounds, MECHA presents as a niche, profitable, technically specialized SME executing a measured pivot from custom machining toward standardized proprietary automation products.
