MEI is a global leader in innovative solutions for the optical industry. Since its foundation in the early 1990s, the company has combined a strong passion for innovation with a constant focus on customer needs.
MEI designs and manufactures advanced lens edging equipment known for its robustness, reliability, and flexibility. Its pioneering Dry Cut technology, adopted across all MEI edgers, revolutionized the industry by enabling blockless edging and offering significant advantages over traditional grinding methods.
Today, MEI supplies edging solutions for customers of all sizes, from optical shops to fully automated industrial laboratories worldwide.
Building on the success of block-free edging, MEI developed the CoreTBA, Alpha CoreTBA, and Omega CoreTBA systems, introducing a new generation of block-less Freeform Lens Production. These solutions eliminate the need for tapes, blocks, wax, and alloy while reducing environmental impact thanks to Dry Cut technology, which requires no water filtration system.
MEI’s latest innovation, ClearXM, automates lens cleaning, cosmetic inspection, and quality control in a single compact system. All MEI machines are entirely designed and manufactured in Italy.
