In 2006, MARTIN® outgrew its premises and moved to the current offices in Die Heuwel, Witbank. Martin Engineering utilizes only the most modern machinery and techniques in our 1000 m2 factory. A keen adopter of Lean Manufacturing techniques, Martin Engineering has radically reduced customer lead times and inventory guaranteeing exceptional on-time delivery by utilizing just-in-time scheduling methods.

With the introduction of a Trumpf laser cutting machine, quality has been guaranteed through repeatable components. These components are designed to exceed the challenging demands of the bulk materials handling industry. Additionally, considerable effort has gone into delivering consistent quality with a robust yet highly professional appearance. Repeatable component dimensions guarantee that products sold today can be serviced or repaired many years down the ownership line. All legacy products have been redesigned to be manufactured utilising the laser machine, but with interface dimensions identical to the original product allowing parts interchangeability with the customers installed investment.

New conveyor products are either adapted from designs generated by the Center For Innovation (the global Research and Development Headquarters of Martin Engineering in Illinois, United States) to suit local standards and strength requirements, or are developed in-house to satisfy unique South Africa conditions. New products undergo strenuous field trials in a variety of bulk materials handling industries guaranteeing that the product delivered to the customer will work first time, every time.

Where custom solutions (for example in transfer points) are required, Martin Engineering has an in-house design department able to develop solutions tailored to the particular problem, from customized clamps to entire transfer points.
