- “Despite the challenges present in the wider economy, the new management team in MEF are extremely focused on growing the business this year and are hopeful of a better year in 2026 with continued focus on innovation, technical support, off-site prefabrication, offering more to contractors than the competitors, securing the best deals for quality products, growing our customer base, adding new products and expanding into different markets with the support of the Niedax group we believe this is possible.”
