    About Company

    RFA Engineering’s history dates back to 1943, when the Minnesota Engineering Company (MEC) was founded. Several tool designers left the Northern Pump Company to form their own company to support the fluctuating tool design needs of the defense industry.

    MEC flourished with the simple operating principle of being responsive to the client and delivering exactly what was promised.
