Mtec’s highly experienced project management team work with institutions, galleries and artists internationally, coordinating all of Mtec’s supporting services: Art Transport & Shipping, Installation, Fabrication & Gallery Services, and Art Storage.

We relish coming up with solutions to the most challenging problems and are able to offer a full range of specialist services including Condition Reporting, Exhibition Maintenance, and Exhibition Coordination incorporating Risk Assessment and Insurance.

With over 20 years of experience, our team can expertly advise clients to ensure work is delivered promptly, safely and on budget. We offer door-to-door service and a regular bi-monthly art-only consolidated container service via New York. Mtec operates a fleet of specialist vehicles for every eventuality, from museum-standard vehicles through to heavy lifting equipment.

Airfreight — We provide full supervision through Cargo and Security Systems in all UK and International airports, whether the consignment is a small single shipment or a monumental artwork.

Ocean Freight — Mtec operates a full ocean/deep sea shipping service for sole-use containers, multiple users or out of gauge consignments for under-deck stowage.

Mtec is able to offer bespoke solutions for the most complex of fine art installations. We work closely with structural engineers, and based on their advice and our experience, we carry out large and challenging installations with total precision. We have a reputation for innovative thinking, rigorous planning and safe practice.

For unconventional projects, we have a wide range of in-house specialist equipment, or can build installation equipment in-house. This flexibility allows us to provide full assurance that we will complete a project regardless of size or circumstances.

Much of the work we undertake at Mtec is large-scale project-based installation that requires creative and innovative thinking and often bespoke fabrication.

Metal Fabrication — Our team can work closely with clients to design and deliver bespoke metal constructions for any project.

Gallery Furniture and Plinth Making — We design and build gallery furniture as well as plinths for exhibitions, reducing the need for additional contractors.

Case-making and Packing Solutions — Mtec have a dedicated team of experienced Case-makers and expert Packers.
