About us

History

The company was founded in 1973 by Mr. Duprat.  Mecan'Outil first developed a mechanical subcontracting activity. Very quickly, our  know-how led us to develop our own products. The company quickly established itself as the French leader in sheet metal cutting, as well as notching and crunching equipments.

At the same time, Mecan'Outil becomes an essential partner for European Aluminim buiding systems companies., designing and developing punching tools for aluminium profiles. in the 1990s, Mécan'Outil developed its own range and established itself on the market of machines for roller shutter manufacturing.

Since March 2025, Mecan Outil is Mecan Industries, and belongs to Hetage group, as DGM and Corba Industries
