History

From the visionary to the market leader that remains a visionary today

A head full of visions, a claim to the best quality and genuine entrepreneurial spirit. This is how Josef MARTIN established his business in 1961. His ideas were way ahead of the times and he was able to pass on his passion for technology to his team. MARTIN GmbH employees and customers still perceive this positive spirit today. And the enthusiasm for work lives on.

Today, MARTIN GmbH has 80 employees and is ranked among the leading manufacturers of excavator attachment technology. The company sees environmental protection, sustainability and value creation in its own country as paramount. The internal production content is above average, the remainder is produced entirely in Central Europe.
