Don't know if it's right, but I say "melz gree-oh".

I don't think the "s" in "Melles" is pronounced at all.
I think it's closer to "mel gree-o"

That's how I've always pronounced it too. But I seem to remember
calling them once and the receptionist answered by saying "MEL-lis
GREE-oh". That was 4 or 5 years ago, so the best way to find out would
be to call them and then listen carefully.
That being said, I think Ioannis has correctly given how the French
would pronounce it.

And confirmed by a VP at Melles Griot:
"MEL-liss (not Mel's) -- and emphasis on the first syllable.
GREE-o -- emphasis on the first syllable."

I attempted to take French in college with the operative term being
"attempted". The only reason I passed was that I promissed the
instructor I would not take any further French classes. :-)

I mostly hear it pronounced : Mellez Grio, The s sounding like a z to
me and the t being silent.

I'm reminded of my brother, who was allowed to use a computer language
for his foreign language requirement in grad school.
