About Us When Chris and Michelle Michael started Meaco in 1991 the aim was to specialise in monitoring and control equipment for museums and art galleries. To this end they built a range of products that included dehumidifiers, humidifiers, thermohygrographs, thermohygrometers and other museum orientated measurement instruments. In 1992 Meaco developed the world's first radio based environmental monitoring system in conjunction with the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. This gave Meaco a much higher profile and over the next 10 years Meaco established itself as one of the most important suppliers of humidity monitoring and control equipment to museums across Europe. In 1999 Meaco were approached by Mitsubishi Electric to become their sole distributor for their range of portable dehumidifiers in the U.K. This was the start of a successful relationship that continues to this day. The current range of Mitsubishi Electric dehumidifiers can be found here. In 2005 Chris and Michelle sold the museum side of the business to concentrate their efforts on the rapidly expanding internet sales of domestic dehumidifiers. In 2009 the expansion continued and Meaco became a manufacturer of dehumidifiers using the experience gained from working in museums and listening to customers to ensure that each and every dehumidifier not only solves a problem but will also improve the users quality of life. Throughout 2011 Meaco has confirmed our position as a major player in the UK dehumidifier market and have started to export to Europe and South Africa. As well as improving the product range and expanding into new markets Meaco have announced their support and sponsorship of local athlete Rachel Cawthorn in her bid to represent Great Britain in the kayak in the London 2012 Olympics.
