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 became an essential partner for European Aluminim buiding systems suppliers., 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.

In 2001, the company was taken over by Mr Ravier, and has been pursuing its development in the same sectors of activity and developed  know-how on PVC profiles.

In october 2018, the direction of the company changed anew, It was taken over by Emmanuelle and Jean-Christophe ALBRECHT.
