An established UK company specialising in hi-tech mechanical equipment services and emergency repairs, has recently opened new machining workshops and offices in Scotland and Wales to meet growing demand.

Metalock Engineering UK Limited, established in 1947 and part of the Midroc Europe Group, works with some of the largest, most sophisticated and complex equipment and serves a diverse range of highly specialised industries including petrochemicals, processing, steel and paper making, pressing and forging, power generation and marine and offshore.

Metalock’s Sales and Service Manager, Mike Fish, a former Vice Chairman of the BMPCA (British Manufacturing Plant Constructors Association), describes the opening of these two new workshops as exciting and timely.

He comments “This expansion demonstrates our commitment and dedication not only to existing customers in the manufacturing and processing industries by helping them to maximise equipment efficiency, productivity and profitability but also, and very importantly, to new customers both here in the UK and internationally who may be looking for cost effective, proven expertise in bespoke modifications or equipment upgrades as well as maintenance and 24/7 emergency repairs.”

He adds: “We will be looking to recruit additional engineers and technicians at our Coventry head office, as well as in both the new plants in Glasgow and Pembroke Dock in South Wales as part of our ongoing expansion programme. With nearly 70 years experience in our sector, we’re proud of our reputation and track record in on-site and off-site precision engineering repairs in the UK and, increasingly, overseas too where we have successfully undertaken many challenging projects thanks to our highly valued and skilled engineers and our considerable investment in the latest equipment.”
