STORY
MEI was founded with a single goal: to raise the standard for musical instrument and backline rentals supply and services in the region. From day one, our mission has been to provide high-quality equipment and dependable support for world-class artists and productions.
Setting up in Dubai was no coincidence. As the city established itself as a global center for music,culture, and major events, MEI positioned itself at the heart of the action — delivering premium instruments, expert technical support, and service excellence that quickly earned the trust of both international and regional clients.
Today, MEI stands as a key player in the events and entertainment industry across the GCC, enabling flawless performances, seamless tours, and exceptional events. MEI is proud to be part of The Music Shed — a collective that includes MNK and Melody House.Together, we support musicians, productions, and creators across rentals, recording, and retail — all under one roof.
