Our Story
Since 2006, MCL has specialised in the design, manufacture, installation, and support of conveyors and components, with the latest generation of MCL products representing over 20 years of product development.
With over 190 years combined service within the conveyor industry, our staff have the engineering, design, and manufacturing expertise required to consistently deliver quality material handling solutions - the experience and practical know-how to implement a logical, sensible best-practice system, together with the creativity and mental agility to think outside the box.
Founding the company on the principles of quality, precision, partnership, and a solutions-based modular approach where no job is too simple or too complex, the company’s directors Phil Cooper and Patrick Collins have over 35 years of combined experience in the material handling field.
Patrick and Phil have experienced unprecedented growth, thanks to their commitment to operational excellence, product quality, engineering expertise, and customer-first attitude, and maintain hands-on roles within the company, which now employs over 40 staff members.
Fast-forward to 2024 and the business now has Mark Fisher as General Manager, supported by Arno Van Wyk as Business Development Manager, working alongside Phil, Patrick and the MCL team to take the business to the next level.
In 2024, MCL invested in and installed its brand new state-of-the-art powder coating plant, alongside a market-leading 3D print farm, which we use for rapid prototyping in our R&D and product development processes, and highly customised conveyor systems enabling our design process to be extremely agile.
The provision of these new additions help the business to simplify and streamline our internal production process, allowing for greater control over the flow and quality of the MCL supply chain, while simultaneously improving the MCL product and service offering.
Meet the team
As a hardware and mechanical engineering partner, MCL helps solve product movement issues with system integrators and automation suppliers - providing them with specialist skills and knowledge to ensure that they are as effective as possible in providing end-users with the most appropriate and cost-effective solutions.
To achieve this outcome, MCL is staffed by an experienced business development and engineering sales team, who are, in turn, ably supported by a design department of engineers utilising SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
One of the reasons for the ongoing success and stellar reputation of the business is the highly skilled production team, whose ability to meet deadlines and produce quality conveyor systems and componentry is second to none.
The production team is well complemented by the logistics division of MCL, with our in-house engineering team working collaboratively with logistics in the transportation, installation, and after-sales support of those conveyor systems and products we supply.
The business prides itself on its approach to projects, customers, suppliers, and sub-trades alike, all of which are undertaken from a partnering perspective, rather than that of the traditional supplier/customer dynamic.
