company history

Mitel Distributing was founded in 1961 by Mr. Gabriel Tellechea and Mr. Walter Millares with the purpose of becoming the exclusive distributor for Toledo Scales, and quickly established itself as a key supplier to the then booming manufacturing industry. In 1984 Mitel was acquired by Mr. Cesar Muñecas, Sr. and Mr. Alfredo Fernández, along with their sons Cesar (Chachi) and Alfredo (Freddie). This group brought extensive experience serving the industrial, process, manufacturing, mining and power generation industries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean basin.

For over 60 years Mitel has focused and excelled in providing the highest quality instruments, weighing systems and services in the industry. Mitel is also recognized as an industry leader in delivering superior service through its unique combination of engineering and technical expertise, along with close and long-standing relationships with key suppliers throughout the world. Mitel’s technical specialist group has a combined experience of over 6 decades. This provides Mitel the ability to execute complex projects in very diverse and challenging environments.

Over time Mitel has expanded its products offerings and services to adequately serve customers' changing needs and new market conditions. Mitel is now able to do what no other vender can: deliver a complete and full-cycle solution package to all business areas; from the manufacturing floor to the laboratory. The company is positioned as Puerto Rico's premier consultancy group in high-end instrumentation and weighing solutions for research, scientific and quality control labs, in the Pharmaceutical, Bio-pharmaceutical, Medical Device, R&D, Chemical, Food & Beverage, Academia, and other related industries. With the addition of the third generation of the Fernández and Muñecas families, Rafael and Cesar, in the company's management and operations, Mitel is poised to continue its distinguished history for many years to come.
