Together with the constant passion for work, the constant desire of growth is a key parameters for the evolution of the company.

OUR STORY

AECAR was officially born in 1978, but the history of the company starts way earlier.
At the end of the 1960s, the first Italian company in the production of electrical contacts in precious metal was founded: MEC BETRAS ITALIA.
For over 30 years, MEC BETRAS and AECAR had worked in synergy, supplying hundreds of millions of electrical contacts every year to the largest multinationals belonging to a wide range of industrial sectors. The strength of such a collaboration between MEC BETRAS and AECAR, now merged into AECAR only, has always been the same: the ability to follow its customers at 360 degrees thanks to a solid expertise in the production of any electrical contact in precious metal.
