JC Mectec was founded by Jamilo Carvalho, a Senior Industrial Mechanic with over 30 years of hands-on experience at companies like PepsiCo/Frito-Lay, Concord Foods, and Naiad Dynamics. He didn't start this company in a boardroom, he built it from the floor up, with calloused hands and a deep understanding of what manufacturers actually need when equipment goes down or a custom solution has to be fabricated right the first time.
Today, JC Mectec brings that same expertise to manufacturers across Connecticut, offering custom fabrication, CNC plasma cutting, welding, and field maintenance. We're not a vendor you call and wait on. We're the team that shows up, knows the work, and gets it done. Small company. Serious skills. Real results.
