History of Metalock Singapore

Metalock began its operations in Singapore in 1959 when Metalock (Far East) Ltd (MFE) set up a branch in Singapore to specialise in repairs of marine equipment. These included the use of the Metalocking process, which is a precise engineering method of effecting cold repairs to cracked, fractured or weakened machine parts or pressure vessels of cast or forged metals.

MFE's Singapore branch gradually expanded its operations and by 1965, had added propeller repairs and piston reconditioning as two specialist services. Metalock (S) Pte Ltd was incorporated in Singapore as a private limited company on 25 January 1969 to take over the branch's activities. It was converted into a public limited company on 16 March 1988.

Over the years, the Metalock Group had evolved through a series of corporate restructuring, acquisitions and divestitures to maximize shareholders' value.

The Board of Directors of Metalock Singapore Limited announced that with effect from 28 April 2003, Metalock Singapore Limited will be renamed to MTQ CORPORATION LIMITED.

MTQ Corporation Limited Group specialises in engineering services, and is primarily involved in oilfield equipment repairs and rental operations.
