Founded originally as Jaquet & Gremaud in 1971, the company metamorphosed into Mecaplast SA in 1987 under Jean-Marc Jaquet. But it was in 2002, with Jean-Marc Jaccottet taking over, that Mecaplast underwent a significant evolution. Jaccottet’s strategic leadership propelled the company into new avenues, championing technological advancements and diving headfirst into uncharted business territories.
Under Jaccottet’s guidance, the ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified company deftly pivoted towards the medtech industry, merging quality and innovation seamlessly. Their commitment and prowess didn’t go unnoticed—Mecaplast was bestowed with the prestigious title of “Best Entrepreneurial Company in Romandie” by the SVC in 2022.
Today, Mecaplast’s sprawling 18,000 square meter facility is a testament to its growth and vision. Within its walls, the company houses a robust infrastructure, including a recently added 300 sqm ISO7 clean room. In total, the firm boasts 5 ISO7 clean rooms and 40 state-of-the-art injection machines, all situated within a massive 6,000 square meter production area. This impressive setup is expertly orchestrated by a dedicated team of 115 employees, each a specialist in their field.
