MCL pivot their business to produce systems for systems integrators and OEMs within the New Zealand market.
While prior to the pandemic MCL focused primarily on the international market, closed borders opened opportunities closer to home, within the Kiwifruit, Apple, Avocado, Meat Processing sectors with various solutions being required, including pallet conveying.
The business implemented SolidWorks and PDM software to manage the design outputs of deliberate and detailed products that incorporate various 3rd party equipment such as photo eyes, scanners, check weighers, and label printers.
All of which are required when delivering complex automated systems that connect various machinery such as carton erectors, food grading systems, pallet and product handling equipment, across multiple industries with varying hygiene standards.
MCL works with clients to provide conveyor systems including palletising, carton handling, food, dairy and beverage, and has the expertise to take on the most challenging jobs.
With multiple industries both locally and internationally investing in automation after encountering enormous staffing pressures with lockdowns, MCL has experienced massive growth via a surge in demand for product lines during lockdowns.
MCL is extremely proud that much of its business is from word-of-mouth referral from satisfied clients who recognise the company’s superior ability to deliver complex custom solutions for systems integrator and OEM partners.
