For nearly 80 years, the foundation of our company has been on our people, innovation, and creativity to help make facilities “cleaner, safer, and more productive”. This analogy is core to our existence. Together with our employees we look to “Transform Opportunity into Action”. As we strive to build a future for the next generation, we have embarked on the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) journey, a program we have named Martin Stewardship. This initiative ties closely to our Why Statement – “We ignite Excellence so that Families Thrive and Communities Flourish” Through our innovative products and our manufacturing efficiency, we have created partnerships with our customers helping them to reduce spillage, noise and pollution in their facilities. In addition to our products, we provide training programs through our Foundations™ Learning Center. Within this Learning Center, our customers can download an E-book or learn via online or live classes and monthly webinars all of which promote more efficient bulk material handling. Our detailed Safety Book also is a key reference for many customers and experts in the industry. At Martin Engineering, we believe there’s more to being a global leader than producing safe and innovative products and technologies. Our commitment to improving the bulk materials handling process through innovation serves as a core principle that drives our business. It’s one of many reasons our customers have shown tremendous loyalty to us over the decades However, we are also passionate about and dedicated to improving the world through responsible corporate citizenship. A fundamental element of our culture is our commitment to operating in smart, sustainable and compassionate ways to improve how we serve our customers, our employees and communities worldwide. We believe that acting responsibly and giving back to the communities we serve provides long-term, sustainable benefits. Our commitment to: The Environment – It is our belief that in any kind of mechanical process, including bulk materials handling, all efficiency leads to energy efficiency. That firm belief is reflected in our products and systems, as well as in our internal manufacturing processes. All of the products we manufacture are designed to make the flow of materials more efficient, which results in an operation that requires less power. Plus, we work with customers in fields that strive to improve the environment around us, such as recycling plants and power plants that run on biomass. At Martin, we are committed to strengthening the communities in which we operate and making them a better place to live and work. In fact, we see it as part of our corporate responsibility. For example, we encourage our employees to be involved in community as part of a culture of volunteerism. As a result, Martin employees donate many hours of volunteer time for organizations such as Race for the Cure, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Adopt-A-Highway and Junior Achievement. We also embrace the industries we serve by actively participating in the governing agencies within these industries and working to minimize the potential dangers associated with these industries.
