Memco Limited is the international market leader in the manufacture and sale of infra-red detectors for lifts.

The company was established in 1971 and retains both the sales and manufacturing head office in Maidenhead, UK some 30 miles from London.

Additional sales offices in Italy (2004), Japan (1999), Spain (1998), France (1994) and Germany (1993); coupled with a network of distributors across the globe ensure that Memco retains its international dominance. The company successfully achieved the Queen's Award for Exports in 1994.

In 1990, the company joined Halma plc, one of Britain's most successful medium-sized manufacturing groups. The group consists of more than 40 international companies and specialises in products for both detection and protection.

Memco Limited is BS EN 9001-2000 certified and is constantly focused on quality; this is reflected in the success of the extensive range of detectors such as Pana40 Plus, Pana40 Plus3D and Elite. The significant investment in Research and Development ensures that Memco Limited uses cutting edge technology to stay ahead of the competition. The introduction of the unique Panachrome coloured safety edge is proof of the commitment to moving forward.

Memco's aim is to continue to be the leading designer and manufacturer of electronic door entrance safety systems in the world, and a major supplier of lift emergency telephones. The introduction of the latest telephone family, G3X, moves Memco firmly into the 21st century.

Memco formed its sister company Janus Elevator Products in 1988. Based in New York, Janus is responsible for sales and support across the United States
