Brady Acquires Mecco, Furthering Impact in Direct Marking and Engraving
In August 2025, Brady acquired Mecco Partners LLC, a technology leader in direct part marking and engraving. Along with the previous acquisition of Gravotech, we've expanded our robust suite of direct marking, engraving and identification solutions.
Both Brady and Mecco have over a century of innovation. By combining our decades of expertise, we stand better positioned to solve complex identification challenges across a wide range of global industries.
On May 11, 2026, the Mecco brand will officially transition into Brady, and we will move forward as a single organization. Customers of both Brady and Mecco can expect the same high level of service and support. We remain committed to providing quality identification products and innovative solutions throughout the world.
Expanding into New Industries and New Applications
The addition of Mecco's marking technology allows Brady to provide end-to-end solutions for engraving and etching, opening doors for deeper integration into heavy industrial and manufacturing sectors.
Improved Traceability Options
For customers in highly-regulated industries like aerospace, defense and medical device manufacturing, direct part marking helps achieve regulatory compliance and streamlines recall operations.
Expanded Material Marking
Fabricators require permanent, safe and efficient marking. Lasers and dot peen engravers create marks that stay legible even after painting, plating or galvanizing.
Permanent Data Matrix Codes
For cradle-to-grave tracking on durable materials, dot peen and laser markers product high-contrast data matrix codes that stay scannable for years.
Making the World a Safer, More Productive Place, Together
We’re excited to welcome Mecco into the Brady family. With this acquisition, our customers benefit from our shared experience and commitment to quality and service.
