🏆 About Mecad USA

Mecad USA specializes in precision components, industrial automation, and advanced systems serving sectors such as aerospace, energy, and advanced manufacturing. The company has offices in Barcelona, Spain and Tokyo, Japan, and its technologies range from motion control and robotics to high-performance materials and systems integration. Choosing the Port of Catoosa — a 2,000-acre multimodal industrial park already home to more than 50 companies , gives Mecad direct access to barge, rail, and highway logistics that few inland sites in the country can match.

Mecad USA's facility will integrate advanced automation, testing, and systems assembly in a campus environment optimized for growth. Company leaders cited Oklahoma's recent policy changes as a key factor in the decision, particularly the state's 2025 behind-the-meter energy legislation, which allows industrial users to develop on-site power generation and storage without being regulated as public utilities. For job seekers in the Tulsa metro, this means a rare ground-floor opportunity at a global advanced manufacturer setting down permanent roots in northeastern Oklahoma.

The roles being created span a wide technical range. The new jobs include engineering, production, maintenance, technical staff, and support roles. Mecad USA expects hiring to ramp beginning in mid-2026, with an emphasis on workforce partnerships and specialized training in automation, additive manufacturing, and systems integration. Job seekers with backgrounds in aerospace manufacturing, industrial controls, robotics, or precision machining are particularly well-positioned for early openings.

Candidates who are currently enrolled in or recently completed programs in industrial technology, mechatronics, CNC machining, or welding at Tulsa Community College, Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology (OSUIT), or area vocational-technical centers should position themselves as early applicants.

The Tulsa Port of Catoosa is a 2,000-acre multimodal industrial park with barge, rail, and highway connections on site, already home to more than 50 companies, with direct access to inland waterway shipping and freight rail central to its pitch to manufacturers.
