Back in<\/span> the 1990s, as technology boomed and computer shops sprang up across the Philippines, MEC Networks\u2019 founder and president,<\/span> Merrick Chua,<\/span> saw an opportunity. What started as a side hustle quickly evolved into something much greater.<\/span> By 1995, our president <\/span>made a bold move. He <\/span>realized that instead of competing with countless other computer shops, he could empower and connect businesses by becoming a distributor of ICT products. With this pivot, MEC Networks was born<\/span> \u2014a decision that laid the foundation for a legacy that continues to thrive today<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The company\u2019s first major partnership came in 2002 with Krone, a German cable manufacturer. This partnership was the beginning of MEC\u2019s commitment to delivering world-class products<\/span> and solutions to the Philippines. Today, that commitment has grown to include over 30 global ICT brands<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
