Business Mission of the Holding company MEA AG (Plc)
Founded in 1886 as a machine fitter's shop with an ironmongery, today MEA is a medium-sized corporate group which operates on the international stage and is based in the town of Aichach in Bavaria, Germany. As a supplier to the construction sector and industry, we manufacture products in Western and Eastern Europe as well as in Asia. The MEA Group has a global presence through sales companies, distribution partners and a global logistics network.
In order to be very close to the market and our customers, we have divided our company up into independent business units. Each of these business units is governed by the following guidelines: We focus on specific market segments in which we operate with a high degree of specialism in order to be able to cater efficiently for the individual requirements of our customers by offering optimum solutions.
Our contacts are mainly planners, engineering offices and architects. Processors and construction companies receive product solutions and services from us which meet their supreme demands in relation to safety, functionality, economic viability and durability. Our products are distributed largely through specialist retailers. Our claim is that our customers can maximise their performance by using MEA products. We pass on to our customers the benefits gained from our integrated manufacturing supply chain and from the deep and long-standing working relationship that we enjoy with strategic suppliers.
MEA offers products and solutions encompassing different materials. MEA's expertise with multiple materials is exceptional, offering a unique advantage to our customers: they always receive an optimum solution with the perfect material.
The MEA organisational structure is also special. This is because it offers our customers peace of mind, efficiency and reliability in the long term thanks to the unique combination of:
- a German family shareholder group which guarantees that the company will continue over the long term
- a professional international management team which responds flexibly to changes in the market and ensures that the company adopts a forward-looking approach
- a financially strong parent company which, together with highly committed managers and employees, continuously promotes business development.
MEA was founded more than 125 years ago in the town of Aichach in Bavaria, Germany. We are convinced that experience and continuity are an important basis of our success. An essential part of our identity are the internationally recognised virtues of German workmanship, in particular:
- solidity
- quality
- a long-term approach
- environmental awareness
- innovation
For our customers, these virtues form a valuable foundation for doing business and guarantee reliability, integrity and competitiveness over the long term.
We appreciate the advantages of engaging in an open, fair dialogue in an economy which understands how to combine the advantages of globalisation with having respect for all human rights. In our decisions and our daily actions, we are guided by clear, ethically founded principles of corporate governance. This applies both in dealing with customers and with employees, suppliers and competitors. We are convinced that ultimately it is the people within a company who dictate the success of the company. This is why we offer our employees many different possible ways of developing their careers and give them free scope for initiatives and free scope to come up with new designs and concepts. We support and encourage them to achieve their personal goals. This is because with their experiences and qualifications they are able to take the right measures quickly and reliably in order to meet the requirements of our customers in an optimum way. MEA is committed to continuously enhancing the service provided. The aim here is to constantly improve the added value for our customers so that our employees can continue to be proud of their own successes and we live up to the trust that the shareholders place in the company.
