Evolving with Purpose & Precision
Founded in 1955, MDC began with a simple mission: to provide reliable weighing scale sales and repair services. Built on a foundation of craftsmanship and customer trust, we quickly became a name synonymous with precision and service excellence.
Over the decades, we’ve grown alongside Singapore’s industrial landscape–expanding our expertise beyond mechanical weighing into calibration, surface treatment, automation, and more. While our capabilities have evolved, our commitment to long-term relationships and quality service remains unchanged.

Heritage Gallery
With MDC’s 70 years of experience in the weighing business, we have over the years collected and retained many valuable weighing and weighing related artefacts. Our collection was further expanded in September 2013 when SPRING Singapore donated to us numerous valuable artefacts that were dated as early as the 1800’s.
In January 2014, MDC officially opened our Heritage Gallery which is located in our corporate head office. We were very fortunate to have Ms Choy Sauw Kook, the Assistant Chief Executive of SPRING Singapore to officiate our opening.
Our Heritage Gallery has since been visited by numerous SPRING Singapore’s officers, government organizations, students from various schools, public & private organizations and also members of the general public.
Our Heritage Gallery is open to the public with prior appointment and subject to availability, and it is free of charge.
