In business for over 65 years, M.E.G., LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hirsh Industries, is a leading manufacturer of store fixtures. Our headquarters, our gondola factory and our stock room shelving factory are all located in Cambridge City, Indiana.
The considerable depth and breadth of our experience and capabilities allows us to serve many different market segments.
M.E.G. manufactures three principal product types: steel retail shelving (known as gondolas) and accessories; stock room shelving; and laminate/melamine based wood accessories and companion fixtures. A wide variety of wood, metal and combination specialty fixture applications (such as pharmacy, shoe, soft lines, music & movie displays, sports equipment displays etc.) that supplement the gondola and back room shelving lines are also found within these three categories. These product areas constitute a majority of fixturing found both on the retailing floor and in the stock rooms of chain retail stores including: big box discount stores, department stores, drug stores, and auto part stores. The metal gondola products are also found in grocery chains, wholesale clubs, office superstores, and other specialty concept retailers. Stock room shelving products are used in many other retail formats including high-end department stores, apparel stores, shoe stores and high fashion boutiques. Management believes that M.E.G. is the largest domestic manufacturer of backroom shelving for the retail market.
In 1996, M.E.G. introduced a Consolidation Service for our customer base. This service includes the warehousing, inventory management and distribution of store fixtures and accessories not produced by M.E.G. These store fixtures can be customer procured and owned, M.E.G procured and customer owned or M.E.G. procured and owned.
In 1999 M.E.G. formed the subsidiary Install Pro, Inc. to coordinate store fixture installation services for M.E.G. products.
A Fixture Recycle and Refurbish Service (original launch in 1967) was reinvigorated in 2007. Fixtures from closed stores are received by M.E.G., sorted, refurbished to new or near new condition, inventoried, and shipped to new or remodeled stores as required per a predetermined fee schedule. In 2008, M.E.G. placed higher emphasis on building this business to satisfy our customers twin needs to cut capital spending while at the same time meeting their Green goals.
M.E.G. markets its products directly to major retailers for installation in their stores during new construction, remodeling / resetting, and merchandising system rollouts. M.E.G has a diverse, high quality customer base ranging from small footprint, mall and strip retailers to large format discount and traditional department stores.
The headquarters of M.E.G. and its manufacturing facilities are located in Cambridge City, Indiana where the Company owns or leases a total of 700,000 square feet of office, manufacturing, and warehouse space.
M.E.G.s two gondola lines, Optimum and Champion are competitive in 89% of the North American market for steel gondola. All big box discount department stores and most other value based chain retailers specify a product type that corresponds to one of these two gondola types.
During the last several years, M.E.G. has added variations to its Shelf Space stock room shelving line that broaden its appeal to additional segments of the retail stock room shelving marketplace. M.E.G. now offers product variations that compete effectively with all three major competitors.
In addition, M.E.G. introduced a complete line of rivet style back room shelving early in 2006. This type of stockroom shelving is preferred by the retailers who populate the majority of the small foot print shopping mall based retail chains.
Backing up these three lines is a wood operation capable of supplying the particle board, laminate and melamine based shelving, counter tops, check out counters, service counters and other fixtures required as accessories to be sold as a companion product for these product lines.
