Stamina pays off in the end
On its path to growth and prosperity, MEC relies on employees who don’t run out of steam even on long-term projects. Many small steps help us to reach our goal. And most certainly we will also have failures or retrogradesteps along the way. But we have learned to change direction.Giving up is not an option!
Our stamina training has paid off:
In 2021, our MEC Competence Centre in Saarbrücken was added with its two Accounting and Contract Management teams. Previously formally located at Metro Properties, but always working for us, they have finally officially become part of the successful MEC team. Find more information here.
We have had a new image since the summer of 2021. Our website underwent a makeover back then, and now presents us as we truly are. Because, of course, we have evolved over the last ten years. We also created our new Image brochure and the in-house version of this website has also been available to colleagues since then.
Of course, all this did not happen overnight. The Marketing & PR team got much of this off the ground working closely with all departments and agencies.
2021: Record rental result with a total floor area of 132,000 m²
We celebrated a rental record in 2021, thanks to our combined values: an interdisciplinary approach, individual solutions, and client and market focus. By comparison: the 2020 figure was 85,000 square metres. The increase is due, among other things, to the professional renovation and successful re-leasing of former Real supermarket premises. There’s more on this in the press section of the MEC website.

Everyone would do it if it were that easy.
That’s how we keep fit
Acting independently
We act where possible, independently and always to the best of our knowledge and belief! MEC lays the foundation for this by giving every colleague the freedom to act, depending on to what extent this is permitted by their department. Our mantra is: It’s the result that matters, not how you achieve it. That’s why our team is made up of genuine people who want to grow and develop their personality.
Learning from mistakes
We learn from mistakes. Failure is part of life and therefore also part of working life. Since we all have the absolute will to continuously improve ourselves and the MEC, we accept this. Because next time we'll do it differently – and better.
Thinking in an entrepreneurial way
We think and act in an entrepreneurial way: at MEC, anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur can be one. We are happy to give our employees creative space, as MEC expressly encourages an independent work ethic. We support and encourage each other in this.
Setting goals
It can be helpful to think more in terms of goals than tasks. We therefore regularly ask ourselves in our daily work what the goal of a (sub)-task is and what we can do to achieve it. Being aware of this motivates us and, at the same time, shows us how important our contribution is in general.
Intermediate goals
We set intermediate goals and also celebrate small successes. It is precisely these more minor aspects that play a part in our overall success. Our turnover is calculated as the sum of the small activities that each and every one of us contributes day after day.
Brand Fitness
Last but not least: naturally we all regularly take part in the Brand Fitness programme. It helps us to achieve all-round fitness and attain top results!
