The 4 E‘s of Martin
The 4 Es represent Martin Automatic’s product philosophy. It is our commitment to make products that are Easy to use, Easy to understand, Easy to maintain, and Easy to integrate, with any new or existing process.
We have provided non-stop solutions for all leading flexo, CI flexo, offset, gravure, letter press, coater and laminator manufacturers in the West. And as the world of digital printing grows we count HP Indigo, HP PageWide, Kodak, Domino, Colordyne, Gallus Labelfire, Mark Andy Digital, and KBA Rotajet among the digital presses that we have been trusted to automate.
We do not compete with OEMs but work alongside them to ensure customers have the best possible experience when automating new or existing presses; our controls engineering and technical service teams communicate well with OEM engineering and support teams. It is another part of our overall philosophy – to help make the industry more efficient, more environmentally healthy, more prosperous, and more friendly.
Martin’s goal is to remove any concern machine operators might have about nonstop unwinds and rewinds by using pure-form design that satisfies all customer requirements and provides a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) that is among the lowest in the industry. It really is the 4Es – 4U!
