MEI LANDS IN BRAZIL

New South American branch for the Italian company that has revolutionized the edging process for ophthalmic lenses MEI – globally known for introducing milling to the edging process of ophthalmic lenses and currently one of the leading suppliers of industrial machines to lens manufacturers and optical chains around the world – is pleased to announce the opening of a branch in Brazil.   The new offices, located in São Paulo, are key to bringing technical support to the company's customers in South America and will serve as a logistic hub for replacement parts and tools for the same area. Stefano Sonzogni, MEI's President and Technical Director, explains the move: "The growing number of customers and machines in the South American market made the opening of a branch here a must in order to offer customer assistance and provide technical support for the installation and maintenance of our machines." Like the other international branches (Chicago and Hong Kong), the new branch will have specialized technicians who can provide installation and maintenance services as well as telephone assistance in the local languages. A sales professional able to demonstrate the machines will also be part of the team.
