Mechanical engineering and design
From product architecture to technical validation, we combine rigor and creativity to turn your ideas into high-performance, reliable products ready for manufacturing.
OUR EXPERTISE
Design better, validate faster, industrialize with confidence.
Design better, validate faster, industrialize with confidence.
Design high-performance, reliable, and manufacturable products with our expertise in mechanical engineering and design. We support you at every stage of development—from product architecture to technical validation—through detailed design, simulation, and optimization.
Our approach combines engineering rigor, creative design thinking, and a strong command of manufacturing requirements. By integrating usage, cost, and production constraints from the outset, we reduce risks, speed up time to market, and maximize delivered value. Work with a team fully committed to the technical and commercial success of your products.

PROJECTS
Engineering and design of a new armored truck in collaboration with the Cambli team
Defense and Security
The team at Cambli, the largest armored truck manufacturer in North America, wanted to diversify their product line to remain competitive and achieve their goals. They called on Merkur’s experts to accelerate the design of a multi-functional window vehicle adapted to extreme conditions in less than 6 months.

Design and simulation for the passenger seats of the Long Island Rail Road In New-York
Transportation
Developed for daily commuters on New York’s suburban rail lines, the M9 seats were manufactured by our client, Khrome PT, on behalf of Kawasaki. The twofold objective was to meet strict transportation safety standards while also complying with the railcar manufacturer’s technical specifications—all within the established budget.

Simultaneous Engineering and DFMA Integration: Crucial Elements in the Product Development Process
In the complex world of product design, certain approaches stand out, such as DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly), which enables products to be designed in such a way as to make them easier and less costly to produce and assemble. When integrated with simultaneous engineering, DFMA brings many advantages, which we will explore in this article.
