History

Mecel was founded in Sweden in 1982 by Jan Nytomt and Hasse Johansson, who later became technical manager at Scania. The company idea was to provide the automotive industry with electronic engine control devices. In 1982, Saab-Scania Combitech Group, as the company was named at the time, acquired Mecel. When General Motors bought the Saab-Scania car operations in 1990, Mecel followed with it. In 1997, General Motors created the company Delphi Automotive Systems and subsequently Mecel became a wholly owned subsidiary of Delphi. Mecel has since been operating as an independent software and system house being able to offer services to all customers.

In 1987, a software division, Mecel Gothenburg, was started in Chalmers University Science Park with the intention of investigating and developing multiplexed signaling in the vehicle based on CAN. In 1990, Mecel and Mecel Gothenburg together formed Mecel AB and Mecel Gothenburg has since 2000, has been organizational headquarters.

In 2006, the Åmål office was purchased by co founder Jan Nytomt and in 2007, the Mecel Engine Systems was acquired by Hoerbiger.[3]

In 2009, Mecel had an operating revenue of 107.3 million. In 2010, the company had sales of SEK 110.1 million.[4] President from 2000 until 2011, was Kent-Eric Lång, succeeded by Henrik Häggström in August 2011.[5]

In 2017, the company was dissolved after merging with Delphi Automotive Systems Sweden Aktiebolag.[6]
