At MELTRIC® Corporation, our only business is 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 MELTRIC® products was developed specifically to address the shortcomings and safety hazards common with pin and 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 1980's and has been supplying its products to North American customers ever since.
