Metlockast

Metlockast Hellas Ltd stands as a prominent technical authority within the Greek and international maritime sectors, specializing in the repair, reconditioning, and supply of marine engine components. Rooted in the industrial hub of Piraeus, specifically within the Schisto Industrial Park, the company has operated for over four decades under the guidance of its founder, Yannis Lotos. Since its inception, the organization has evolved from a local workshop into a comprehensive service provider, supporting shipping companies and heavy industries with critical maintenance solutions designed to extend the operational life of vessel machinery. The company’s core identity revolves around high-precision engineering and the restoration of vital propulsion systems. Operating out of extensive privately owned facilities, Metlockast utilizes specialized workshops equipped for complex tasks such as machining, grinding, and hard chrome plating. The firm is particularly renowned for its expertise in reconditioning internal combustion engine parts, including piston crowns, cylinder covers, valve spindles, and seats. By employing advanced welding techniques and thermal spraying methods, their technicians restore worn components to their original manufacturers' specifications, offering a cost-effective alternative to complete part replacement. Beyond its static workshop capabilities, Metlockast maintains a dynamic operational structure designed for the mobile nature of the shipping industry. The company deploys ""flying squads"" of marine mechanical engineers capable of traveling globally to perform on-board repairs, ensuring that vessels can address mechanical failures with minimal downtime. This 24/7 service model is complemented by a substantial inventory of new and reconditioned spare parts, allowing for rapid dispatch to ports around the world. A significant milestone in the company’s history was its appointment as an Authorized Repair Agent for Mitsubishi UEC Diesel Engines in 2015. This designation validated the company’s technical proficiency and allowed it to undertake authorized repair, reconditioning, and maintenance work for these specific propulsion systems. The organization adheres to rigorous quality standards, maintaining class approvals that certify their welding and reconditioning procedures. Through a combination of veteran experience, specialized metallurgy knowledge, and rapid logistical response, Metlockast serves as a critical support node for shipowners and operators ensuring the reliability of main and auxiliary engines across the global fleet.
