Martin Automatic at ICE-Europe 2025, Stand 1820

Renowned for its innovation in non-stop automation and web control systems, the company continues to find new markets for its technology and new sectors within existing markets.  Speaking for Martin, VP Sales & Marketing Gavin Rittmeyer explained: “Our ongoing success and growth comes from the trust our customers place in us to experiment with new concepts aimed squarely at squeezing maximum productivity out of every production process.”

Citing numerous occasions where customers have turned to Martin Automatic for its expertise and provision of solutions for some of the most complex webs and hostile production environments, Rittmeyer added: “We are clearly seen as the market leader in many new narrow web applications that involve more than two rolls of material and more than one splice unit feeding multiple webs simultaneously.”

More than 56 years after its foundation, the company remains committed to the principles of originality and pure-form engineering which deliver the highest quality machines at the best overall value for its customers.  As the business models of converters become more complex, business leaders choose Martin for its web transport and business experience. “Because we are intimate with every design parameter in our machines, we are able to discuss equipment, web, and other process questions and provide root cause analysis to find answers,” Rittmeyer said.

The company believes that now more than ever it is important to know that technology suppliers understand the equipment they are supplying and the process for which they are supplying it.  In Martin’s case this applies across a variety of industries and applications that include roofing materials, filter media, e-commerce packaging, pouches, and tapes.   Its traditional markets of labels, tube laminates, folding cartons, disposable paperboard, nonwovens, and lottery tickets remain strong.

Concluding, Rittmeyer said: “We are constantly working on broadening our market range.  We have delivered several nonstop unwinds for fibre glass webs up to 1.5m in width with a 2.4m roll diameter, but also for very narrow reinforcing webs of 5 cm and nonstop film unwinders for a backing layer.”
