PROUD MEMBERS

In 1959, the phrase “a purpose-driven company” was unknown. Fortunately, Mr. Robert Austin Sr. knew the best way to improve people’s lives was to create desperately needed jobs. As a result, Metals Engineering Company was formed. While much has changed since 1959, we’re still family owned and operated, and our purpose remains the same.

From our family to yours. Meco has been continuously making BBQ Grills in Greeneville, Tennessee since 1969. Now, more than 60 million grills later, people are still enjoying the quality and flavor of Meco brands.

In 1971, the first Meco folding chairs and tables were manufactured in Greeneville, Tennessee. 150 million chair and tables later, Meco is a Global Manufacturer, with design and engineering in the USA to provide folding furniture brands with comfort, style, quality, and value: Sudden Comfort, Sudden Solution, and Stakmore.

For over 50 years, Meco has answered the needs of other American manufacturers.
