What Melchor Gabilondo, S.A. does

MEGA, legally New Mega XXI, S.L. (formerly Melchor Gabilondo, S.A.), is a family-owned Spanish manufacturer of hydraulic lifting and positioning equipment founded in 1940 and headquartered in Berriz, Bizkaia. The company designs, builds, and distributes a single-brand portfolio serving two end markets: automotive workshops/garages and industrial maintenance/manufacturing. All sensitive components are fabricated in-house at the Berriz industrial park facility, where the company has operated since the 1960s.

The product line centers on hydraulic systems operating at up to 700 bar working pressure and spans bottle jacks (3T–50T), standard and low-profile trolley jacks (including the new GT2S/GT3S mechanical-lock variants), high-capacity trolley jacks up to 20T, air-hydraulic jacks, pit jacks, axle stands, hydraulic workshop cranes (foldable and high-capacity), lifting tables, body-repair equipment, bench and column hydraulic presses (up to 100T), hydraulic tube benders, manual/electric/pneumatic pumps, and a full range of single-effect hydraulic cylinders. Differentiated safety features — the "dead-man" device, LCS descent control limiter, hydraulic piston travel limiter, and overload safety valve — are positioned as core competitive assets, with multiple industrial design patents protecting specific product implementations.

The business model is straightforward B2B hardware sales through a curated, prestige-focused distributor network covering more than 100 countries; the company runs separate national (Spain) and export sales teams and does not sell direct to end users. A 3-year warranty across the product range is a deliberate channel-and-brand differentiator. There is no software, SaaS, or recurring revenue component, and no disclosed revenue, headcount, or external investment in the public record.

Product overview

MEGA designs, manufactures, and distributes hydraulic lifting equipment for automotive and industrial applications, operating as a single-brand portfolio with two main market segments: Automotive (vehicles, workshops, garages) and Industrial. The product line centers on hydraulic lifting and positioning solutions including bottle jacks (BR/BRT/BRS series), trolley jacks (GT/T series), air hydraulic jacks (BRB/NP series), transmission jacks (GCB-2), pit jacks (TRS series), wheel dollies (SCR700), axle stands (C/S series), workshop cranes (CRV/CRP/CRM series), lifting tables (ME/PTM series), body repair equipment (GC/EHA series), workshop presses (PRS/PRB/PRC/PRD/PRP/K series), and pipe benders (DR series). The Industrial segment offers manual pumps (BM/BMC series), electric pumps (BDD-5), pneumatic pumps (NS/ND series), and comprehensive hydraulic cylinder lines (SS/SSH/SSR/SSE/SSET series). All products operate at 700 bar maximum working pressure and feature safety mechanisms including dead-man operation, LCS descent control, and overload safety valves. The company manufactures entirely in-house at its Berriz facility since the 1960s and maintains a 3-year warranty on all products.
