Mecmesin Corporation Launches Website for North American Market

 

PR Web: 27 June 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

(PRWEB) June 27, 2011

 

Mecmesin Corporation, a premier supplier of tensile, compression, material and torque testing machines for quality control and product testing, has launched a new website specifically for North American customers.

 

http://www.mecmesincorp.com features a fresh new look & navigation, enabling customers to easily search Mecmesin's extensive range of test equipment by test application, product category or industry. An interactive map on the home page acts as a quick and simple location tool to find Mecmesin�s local North American dealers

 

The �industry� section provides an overview of test measurement within individual industry sectors including packaging, medical, aerospace, automotive, textile, safety, electronics, cosmetics, manual handling and engineering. The �test types� section gives information relevant to specific tests including compression, tension, closure torque, peel/adhesion, flexure/bend, tear, top-load, spring, crimp-joint and coefficient of friction.

 

Case studies, highlighting how Mecmesin customers are using force and torque test equipment to solve their applications, are easily located via industry, test type and product areas.

 

The website also features a blog �Torque About Force� and a comprehensive Knowledge Center, which offers a number of useful tools including conversion calculators, white papers, frequently asked questions and a glossary.

 

Jenny Montgomery, Mecmesin�s Marketing Manager commented: �I am sure our new website will help Mecmesin Corporation develop our brand and increase our sales in this key market. We have strong foundations in place to enable continued growth in the North American market: over 30 years of profitable success, an unrivalled range of incredibly reliable products which help manufacturers to save money by optimizing product design and production, minimizing waste and improving yield. With our new website we look forward to closely communicating with our North American customers and responding to their needs with the highest level of customer service�

 

Mecmesin can also provide customized testing solutions and has a special applications department with a large team of experienced engineers on staff.
