The idea of forming a marketing organization in 1923 led to a co-operation of seven specialist manufacturers of surgical instruments under the name of "GEBRÜDER MARTIN”. The concept soon met with success and remains the group’s underlying strength today. A reason for the company’s a prominent market position is the detailed knowledge of surgeons’ problems in practice.
The group also owes its success to the 180 employees in sales and marketing and 500 employees in production. A close relationship with universities alI over the world is the guarantee that the products are technologically always up to date.
Martin is now present in more than 120 countries world-wide. Exports account for 70% of sales. Arabian countries are of particular importance for Martin and therefore are treated with special care and high motivation.
All of the Martin’s products are known for a high level of quality and ease of operation. The use of new materials and the constant impro-vement of existing products guarantee the company’s competitiveness, and they are certified by ISO 9001. The comprehensive Martin product range consists of over 12,000 products. It comprises equipment for general surgery as well as many specialist items. In detail the Martin programme covers the following products:
- surgical instruments for all disciplines
- disposable scalpels and blades
- orthopaedic implants
- instruments and implants for OMF
- dental instruments
- container systems for the storage and disposal of sterilized items
- operating and examination light optionally with integrated video system
- electrosurgical equipment
- overhead supports
- laser systems
As constant innovation in surgical techniques has made the organizational structure of the hospital more complex, surgeons need complete solutions. Martin meets this with its Project Management.
Developing new markets while serving the established ones, Martin will continue to match future progress with innovation, flexibility and professional know-how.
