History

Mayville Engineering Company was founded in 1945 in Mayville, Wisconsin, as a metalworking operation serving local and regional manufacturers. In its early decades, the company focused on metal stamping and fabrication, gradually building a reputation as a reliable supplier of precision metal components. As the U.S. industrial base expanded after World War II, MEC grew alongside customers in the agricultural equipment, construction, and commercial vehicle sectors. Through the late 20th century, MEC invested in advanced manufacturing technologies, including laser cutting, robotic welding, and automated powder coating lines. This allowed the company to take on more complex, higher-value work and to position itself as a full-service contract manufacturer rather than a simple job shop. The company also began serving OEMs in the powersports and military markets, diversifying its revenue base. In the 2010s, MEC pursued a strategy of growth through acquisitions, adding facilities and capabilities to better serve national customers. These acquisitions expanded its geographic reach and broadened its technical offerings, including tube bending, machining, and large-scale assembly. In 2019, Mayville Engineering Company completed an initial public offering and listed its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MEC. The IPO provided capital for further expansion and increased the company's visibility in the public markets. Since going public, MEC has continued to invest in its manufacturing footprint and to pursue operational efficiencies. The company remains headquartered in Mayville, Wisconsin, and operates multiple manufacturing facilities across the United States. It serves a diverse set of end markets, including heavy-duty commercial vehicles, construction, agriculture, powersports, and military and defense. MEC's brand is built on its engineering capabilities, quality systems, and long-standing relationships with major North American OEMs.
