Mekolec Information

Mekolec was launched on April 1st, 1977. As John O'Neill, Mekolec's founder joked: "only an Irishman would think of going into business on April Fool's Day". But after 39 years of successful operation, that judgement has proven to be sound. Having started in a very small "hole in the wall" in South Melbourne, Mekolec quickly outgrew the location, and moved to its current premises on Thistlethwaite St in 1981, where it has become the most prominent electrical wholesale offering in the area. We are conveniently located close to the city and all major freeways, providing easy access for our customers. Mekolec is a proudly independent and 100% Australian owned and run company. In 2015 John O'Neill and the Middendorp family collaborated to continue the 100% Australian owned and run business tradition with Mekolec becoming part of the Middendorp group. Today Mekolec continues their success and specialises in the Lifts and Fire sectors as well as Data and Electrical with the full backing of the Middendorp Group of Companies.
