Home Appliance Parts Manufacturing
Meco manufactures custom metal and plastic parts for refrigerators, ovens, washers and small appliances—delivering die castings, injection-molded plastics, stamped panels and turnkey box builds under one roof.
Why White Goods OEMs & Appliance Brands Choose Meco
Sourcing stamped metal panels, molded bezels and cast hinges from separate vendors causes seam gaps and finish mismatches. Meco builds and fits the entire assembly under one purchase order.

Home Appliance Parts Manufacturing FAQ
Can you supply mating metal and plastic parts—or full box builds—under one P.O.?
Yes. Meco combines die casting, stamping and CNC machining with injection molding, PCBA integration and turnkey box builds, checking fit-up on cubing fixtures for flush seams.
Do you support UL 94, IEC 60335 and FDA food-contact materials?
Yes. We mold UL 94 V-0/5VA flame-retardant resins (with UL Yellow Card and IEC 60335 glow-wire compliance) and supply FDA, NSF 51 and LFGB food-safe stainless steels, lead-free brass, BPA-free plastics and silicones.
How do you control Class-A cosmetic finishes and seam gaps?
We lock in signed master plaques, verify Delta-E color via spectrophotometer, maintain SPI/VDI 3400 mold textures, apply anti-fingerprint coatings on brushed stainless, and ship in ISTA 3A tested packaging.
Are you IATF 16949:2016 certified and do you provide PPAP packages?
Yes. Meco is IATF 16949:2016 certified and provides PPAP Levels 1–5, FAIRs, cavity-by-cavity CMM reports, Cpk studies and RoHS/REACH declarations.
What order volumes do you support and who owns the tooling?
We support 10-piece EVT/DVT prototypes up to 10M+ annual production units with no minimum order. All injection molds, die-casting dies and stamping tools you fund are 100% customer-owned.
How do your Thailand and China factories reduce tariff and supply risk?
