About Mechtric — Our history 1964 to today
Our history
Sixty-two years,
one trade.
Five branches opened one at a time between 1964 and 1983, and sixteen brand agreements — several of them running more than thirty years. That length is the reason we can still support gear that left the factory decades ago.
