ViscoTec Expands in North America With Acquisition of Mexican Partner

German dosing technology company ViscoTec has expanded its North American footprint after acquiring its long-time Mexican sales partner, MEI Representaciones, officially establishing ViscoTec Mexico to serve key manufacturing industries more directly.

German dosing firm ViscoTec has consolidated its North and Central American footprint after acquiring its longtime Mexican sales partner, MEI Representaciones, a move that formally launched ViscoTec Mexico.

The dosing firm completed the acquisition of MEI on January 23, 2026, bringing the Querétaro-based partner into ViscoTec’s global operations. The deal is part of the company’s overall strategy to deepen its presence in key manufacturing markets and enhance its supply chain amid growing demand from the tech industry.

Mexico is an emerging key manufacturing and supply-chain hub playing a crucial role in supplying the US market, according to the International Centre for Trade Transparency & Monitoring. It ranked among the world’s Top 10 exporting nations with strong exports to the US.

ViscoTec said the new branch will enable the company to better serve its clients across sectors, including electronics, e-mobility, automotive, food processing, cosmetics, and aerospace.

“With the acquisition of MEI, we are creating a direct basis for sustainable growth in one of the most important production locations in North and Central America,” said Franz Kamhuber, managing director of ViscoTec Pumpen- u. Dosiertechnik GmbH.

The company appointed Héctor Bravo Ontiveros as managing director of ViscoTec Mexico. Bravo, a mechatronics engineer with a long history with the company, worked in Germany before joining MEI. He rose from sales engineer to the management team.

“For more than a decade, my team and I have helped establish and grow ViscoTec’s presence in Mexico,” Bravo said.

He said, “Becoming part of ViscoTec is a natural next step.”

ViscoTec will absorb MEI’s workforce of nine employees. Founded in 1985 as Montajes Electromecánicos e Ingeniería S.A. de C.V., MEI has built a strong track record as a reliable industrial partner in the region. It’s more than a 10-year collaboration with ViscoTec America that eventually paved the way for the acquisition.

ViscoTec expects the new branch to improve response time. The tech company is optimistic it can strengthen its operational control and enhance customer service through direct sales support and localized logistics.
