5 YEARS OF MECOS BOARDS – A SWISS SUCCESS STORY
Five years ago, it all started with a simple idea: to combine movement and craftsmanship. Today, MECOS BOARDS stands for Swiss design, honest craftsmanship, and high-quality balance trainers – developed and manufactured in Switzerland.
From idea to balance experience
The name MECOS stands for more than just a brand:
It combines the founders' initials and the word ECO, which represents our values – naturalness, sustainability, and honest craftsmanship. This is how MECOS BOARDS came about – a name that reflects what we stand for: movement in harmony with nature, design, and passion.
We wanted to create balance trainers that can do more than just look good – products that inspire people to get moving: playful, versatile and durable.
The result is a range of unique balance trainers that clearly stand out from the competition – with new shapes, innovative constructions, expanded areas of application and a broader target group ranging from children to athletes.
This idea gave rise to MECOS BOARDS: handcrafted balance trainers made from high-quality wood, built for everyone who loves balance.
Today, our balance trainers can be found in physiotherapy practices, sports centers, schools, kindergartens, offices, and homes throughout Switzerland – and far beyond. They are used in retail, in e-commerce shops both domestically and internationally, at trade fairs, sports facilities, and surfing events, and are partnered with the Swiss Surfing Federation – united by the same passion for movement, flow, and the surfy lifestyle of MECOS BOARDS.
Movement meets health
Balance is more than a training trend – it's essential for health, stability, and body awareness. That's why balance trainers are no longer used solely in leisure or sports settings, but also in numerous health-oriented applications:
- In physiotherapy, they support proprioceptive training – to improve balance, coordination and stability in young and old.
- In postpartum recovery training sessions, they help mothers to gently get back into movement after pregnancy and to specifically strengthen the pelvic floor.
- In performance centers, athletes from freestyle and action sports train with our balance trainers – especially during rehabilitation and development phases.
- Swiss insurers also focus on balance and prevention as part of a healthy lifestyle and integrate MECOS BOARDS into their health programs.
MECOS BOARDS thus naturally combines movement, prevention and fun – from therapy to high-performance sports.
Swiss design. Swiss quality. Swiss Passion.
Each balance trainer and its accessories are crafted with the utmost precision and meticulous attention to detail. We use only carefully selected woods and produce locally – out of conviction. For us, quality means not just a good product, but honest craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and a design that lasts for generations.
Over the past five years, MECOS BOARDS has become a major player in the field of movement, fitness, and training. And with our online shop, we are now live in six countries – a significant step for a Swiss label that has grown with passion.
Thank you for five years of trust and enthusiasm
The success of MECOS BOARDS is the result of many people who believe in and support the brand – from customers and retail partners to therapists, athletes and coaches, all the way to our ambassador program, the MECOS FAMILY.
Together, this has created a strong community that combines balance, movement and surf-inspired design in Switzerland and beyond.
Thank you to everyone who is part of this journey – and to everyone who continues to shape it with us.
