MEINL & ECOLOGY
IT’S OUR WORLD, WE CARE FOR IT
Actions speak louder than words! This is why we take our responsibility seriously and commit our-
selves to several environmental projects. Our specially developed vacuum distillation saves 90,000
liters of drinking water, the world’s most threatened resource. In order to minimize our electricity
usage, all of our buildings are equipped with motion sensors and our centralized electricity controls
prevents the waste of this resource. With our solar-power-plant (Photovoltaic-System) we produce
enough power to supply 153 houses with electricity. All of the electricity used in our facility is
produced from renewable energies. Thus we reduced our carbon monoxide emission from 216 tons
per year down to zero. Reusable materials like paper, plastic or styrofoam are too precious to be
wasted. We separate them for efficient recycling.

ARTISAN EDITION CAJONS
JOSÉ
HERNÁNDEZ DÍAZ
also known as 'Pepote' – was born in Huelva
(Spain) in November 1976. He inherited his pas-
sion for wood from his father and grandfather,
both of whom were aficionados of woodwork
and model aeroplanes.
He first came across the Cajon at the age of 13
while watching a Paco de Lucia concert on televi-
sion. Inspired to make his own, he soon started
receiving commissions from friends and acquaint-
ances when they realised that the Cajon was vir-
tually impossible to get hold of in Spain.
Pepote began taking these instruments to local
shops in his city when he was just 15 years old.
This marked the start of his woodwork training,
where he focussed on the production of musical
instruments by studying techniques for making
ancient musical instruments and guitars while
also completing his studies in industrial furniture
design.
Since then, he has been continually developing
the instrument and relentlessly perfecting his
craft. He came up with an aesthetic based on
comfort, tried and tested more than 30 different
kinds of wood for the construction, created a spe-
cial unbreakable string for the Cajon and tried 20
different kinds of varnish for the finish. The list
goes on. Everything he does revolves around get-
ting the best possible sound out of the instrument
and providing the ultimate peace of mind for the
percussionist.
