EngMek Story
Team
EngMek was formed in 2009 by Cathal Kiely and Rory McCarthy.
It started by developing a niche market in the United States for metal stamped parts that were manufactured in China.
In 2010 in order to support our expanding customer base, EngMek set up a Joint Venture (JV) company in China. This joint venture now called ‘EngMek China’ supported EngMek on a global basis by setting up a fully-equipped, Quality Control department in Shanghai. This in-house Quality Control allows pre-shipment checks of all goods leaving China as well as carrying out detailed quality audits of all contracted and potential suppliers. It also has a full logistics team to ensure products arrive to EngMek customers in an efficient manner.
