Company History & Values

MECOTEC STARTED IN DEEP-FREEZE TECHNOLOGY – WHERE PRECISION, RELIABILITY AND SAFETY ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE.

From there we moved into industrial cooling for partners around the world. Then we took that know-how and built electric cryo chambers – a safer, smarter way to do whole-body cryotherapy, without liquid nitrogen.

What ties it all together: engineering you can trust. For more than 30 years, MECOTEC has had one mission – set the benchmark in deep-freeze, industrial and cryo solutions.

As demand for nitrogen-free, high-performance cold keeps growing – in the US and worldwide – MECOTEC keeps leading, with the same focus on safety, precision and innovation we started with.
