The MEA is a fully independent and impartial organisation representing its members by promoting their importance to the dairy industry and to wider agricultural and consumer-based audiences.
The MEA helps members to develop the professionalism of the sector through its Milking Systems Technician Accreditation (MSTA) scheme, formerly known as Parlour Safe.
MSTA develops the knowledge and confidence of engineers/technicians, improving the standard of service to dairy farmers. It is also key to attracting new entrants to the industry, providing recognition of the skills required.
The MEA works with key industry stakeholders, including farm assurance programmes such as Red Tractor, to promote the need for recognition of training/accreditation of engineers/technicians in support of higher standards in milk production.
As a membership body representing the dairy equipment sector, the MEA keeps abreast of regulatory and standards issues. Through networking with relevant bodies, the MEA has input to development of relevant policy, legislation, standards and codes. Members receive updates on the latest legislative information and on BSI and ISO Standards.
Since Brexit, a priority is to advise members on the implications of changing UK rules and guidelines.
The MEA Technical Committee provides input into British and international standards and regulatory bodies.
By influencing decision makers at the highest level, we believe that our members have a unique opportunity to use the MEA to shape how decisions in dairying are made.
Members benefit from the industry level promotional activity of the MEA through its website, and press communications.
