Our Story
Shipping high-output alternators since 1978
Mechman has been building and shipping high-output alternators since 1978. What started in a home garage — founded by engineer Dennis Moore — has grown into one of the leading providers of high-output alternators to the automotive aftermarket.
In 2010, Matthew Young acquired Mechman, bringing a fresh vision and a staff with deep, hands-on experience across drag racing, road racing, desert racing, rock crawling, boating, car audio, and commercial and armored vehicles. That blend of knowledge and high-performance engineering keeps Mechman at the forefront of alternator technology, with solutions for a broad range of vehicles and applications.
Today, Mechman is recognized for its commitment to quality, innovation, and high-output alternators that power everything from high-performance cars to specialty vehicles — built by a team made up entirely of automotive enthusiasts.

Engineering First
Built from the ground up
At Mechman, performance begins long before final assembly. Every high-output alternator we build starts with a commitment to engineering excellence, premium materials, and uncompromising quality.
Our charging systems are assembled using premium new components engineered or sourced to Mechman's exact specifications. Every critical component — the rotor, stator, bearings, pulley, rectifier, voltage regulator, copper windings, and housings — is selected for durability, efficiency, and consistent high-output performance.
Rather than relying on off-the-shelf parts, we continually refine our designs, materials, and manufacturing processes to deliver charging systems capable of performing in the world's most demanding applications.
Whether you're powering a daily driver, competition audio system, emergency vehicle, work truck, marine application, off-road rig, or a complete 48-volt off-grid power system, every Mechman alternator is engineered to deliver dependable power when it matters most.
Engineered to Spec
Engineered to Mechman specifications
Every Mechman alternator is the result of years of engineering, testing, and continuous product development.
We work with trusted manufacturing partners to produce components built specifically to our engineering standards — from precision-balanced rotors and high-efficiency stators to premium copper windings, heavy-duty bearings, high-current rectifiers, and advanced voltage regulation. Every component is chosen to maximize performance and long-term reliability.
This commitment to quality lets us hold consistent performance across the entire product line while we keep improving our designs as new technologies emerge.
