MPCC (UK) Ltd is a specialized engineering and manufacturing firm dedicated to supporting the operational continuity of the global maritime and offshore industries. Headquartered in Leeds, United Kingdom, the family-owned company traces its origins back to 1989 when it was originally established as Fluid Engineering. The business was founded by Tony Bray, a former sea-going engineer who served with Shell Tankers. Drawing upon his firsthand experience with technical challenges at sea, the company was built to address the specific maintenance and supply needs of ship engineers, focusing heavily on the availability and reliability of critical machinery components.
Incorporated under its current name in 2008, MPCC (UK) Ltd has evolved into a prominent supplier of aftermarket spares and service kits. The company’s core technical competence revolves around marine compressors, pumps, and wastewater management systems. Rather than acting solely as a distributor, the firm adopts an engineering-led business model. It manufactures and supplies high-quality compatible parts, ranging from mechanical seals and bearings to complex rotors and shafts. This technical capability allows the company to offer viable alternatives to original equipment manufacturer parts, often resolving obsolescence issues for aging vessels where specific components may no longer be readily available from the primary maker.
To service a truly global client base, the organization has expanded beyond its British roots, establishing dedicated offices and warehousing logistics in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. This strategic presence in major shipping hubs facilitates rapid delivery to vessels trading between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, mitigating the risk of costly delays for ship operators. While the marine sector remains its primary focus, the company’s expertise has found relevance in the offshore oil and gas markets, as well as land-based power generation and heavy industry. Following a leadership transition in 2019, the second generation of the Bray family assumed control, maintaining the founder’s commitment to technical precision and responsive service. Today, MPCC (UK) Ltd serves a diverse network of ship owners, managers, and industrial clients in over 70 countries, recognized for its ability to keep essential marine auxiliary systems functioning efficiently.
