At MELTRIC Corporation, our only business is industrial duty electrical plugs and receptacles. We are focused on providing our customers with the best overall value by offering the safest, highest quality and most reliable plugs and receptacles, and by backing them with outstanding service and support. The technology behind MELTRICS products was developed specifically to address the shortcomings and safety hazards common with pin & sleeve type plugs and receptacles. In 1952, following the observation of an accident with a pin and sleeve device, Gilles Marechal devised the concept of combining the advantages of silver-nickel butt contacts and the load making and breaking capabilities of a switch with the convenience of a plug and receptacle. Shortly thereafter, the first of these products was born. MELTRIC licensed this technology in the early 1980s and has been supplying its products to North American customers ever since. Today, after constant advancement of this same basic technology, MELTRIC products continue to provide unparalleled levels of safety and performance.
