12 years, is a leading manufacturer and supplier
of Offshore Marine, Hyperbaric / Saturation and
Air Diving Systems. All products come inclusive
installation, testing and commissioning services.
Lexmar operates in South East Asia, Europe and

LexMar was founded by Lex & Marieke Barker.
From its origin the company provides refurbishment
services for the diving industry.
Marieke, who is originally from Holland and
Lex, who was born in UK and grew up in New
Zealand met each other in Holland while working
for Smit Offshore Contractors in Rotterdam.
Over the years LexMar has grown into a company
that is recognized as one of the main suppliers of
saturation diving systems. The company builds and
sells complete new saturation diving systems to
international classification standards.
Being located in Singapore gives LexMar a
prime position right in the heart of the Asia Pacific
region. In fact, recently Singapore’s Minister for
Trade and Industry has launched a US $280 million
(S$400 million), five year development plan for the
country’s offshore petroleum services facilities in
Loyang, declaring it will “further enhance” the
nation as a leading oil and gas center “next to
Aberdeen and Houston”.
From the new 40,000 sq ft manufacturing
facilities at no. 3 Loyang Way 6, LexMar Engineering
Pte Ltd provides the high standard services and
products that are demanded by customers in South
East Asia, Europe and the America’s.
Lex Barker past away last year but that did not
prevent the company which currently employs 100
staff, to continue to grow.
People are our greatest assets and as such we
are confident towards the future. We will make
Lex proud of the organization he started. It is our
ambition to become the world leader in our field
of expertise.
