Entity titleMontech Pty LtdEntity identifier368Entity typeAgencyDate range1986 - circa 2008DescriptionMontech Pty. Ltd. was incorporated as a proprietary company, wholly owned by Monash University, on 1 December 1986. It was established to provide commercialisation of Monash University technology: to provide consulting services (by Monash University and Montech) to business, industry and government in Australia and overseas; and to manage selected commercialisable Monash research and development projects. The first Directors were Vice-Chancellor R L Martin, Chairman, and P B Wade, Comptroller. R E Wortley, Legal Officer was appointed Company Secretary. A general Manager, Dr Paul Hudson, and other directors B W Holloway, J E Kolm, J A Hancock and N B Callinan were appointed in early 1987 and M I Logan succeeded R L Martin as Vice-Chancellor, Director and Chairman of the Board.
Montech operated as a research commercialisation and consulting company from 1987 until late 2001.
From the beginning of 2002, all new and on-going commercialisation responsibilities, and staff, of Montech Pty Ltd transferred to Monash Commercial Pty Ltd (MonCom). The last Board meeting of Montech was 28 February 2002, but because of pre-existing contracts and agreements to which Montech was or is still a named party, resolutions and decisions continue to be made by Montech Directors.
In early 2004 Montech has two directors and a company secretary and there are no immediate plans to deregister or wind up the company.
Montech was mentioned in the Monash University Annual Report for the last time in 2008.
