Founded by Marc Baker, a lifelong skateboarder and surfer from Cape Town, the company began building skateparks locally in 2007. In 2011, Marc collaborated with California Skateparks to construct a skate plaza for the Maloof Money Cup in Kimberley. This partnership led to his involvement with California Rampworks, where he contributed to major projects for the X Games, Dew Tour, and Van Doren Invitational.

With more than 30 completed skateparks, Metritech has established itself as a key player in the industry. In 2015, Marc co-founded The Shred, Cape Town’s premier indoor skatepark, alongside longtime friend and business partner Jamie O’Brien. Their portfolio includes a diverse range of projects, such as Carver Park in Israel, Rakatan Up Rising in Japan (2023), Pelikan Park in the Western Cape (2023), and Battery Park Skate Park in Cape Town. Each project reflects their expertise in crafting high-quality, progressive skate environments.

Beyond permanent skateparks, Metritech has contributed to international events like the Russian X Challenge and the Kimberley Diamond Cup. Their ability to integrate global influences into their designs ensures that every park meets world-class standards.
