History
Martek Marine Ltd was created in 2000 by the current directors Mike Pringle, Paul Luen and Steve Coulson with an initial investment of £6,000 of their own money and operated out of a single business unit.
From these modest origins, we have experienced meteoric expansion, both in the size of the business and the range of products that we provide. We have recently experienced another exciting expansion with a move into a new purpose built office/factory facility to accommodate the increase in production demands.
The pioneering spirit that has forged Martek's philosophy since its inception has seen the company lead the industry in introducing new and innovative products to meet our customers needs. The Bulksafe™ water ingress detection system was the first of its type, MariNOx™ was the first continuous engine emissions monitoring system to achieve Type Approval and remains the overwhelming market leader, while Martek's latest offering, the Lifeforce® Marine AED, is the only automated external defibrillator to be Type Approved for use in the hostile marine environment.
We now have a workforce of 47 staff and have a turnover of £5.5 million per year.
Here are some of our keynote achievements:
• Established global business with a phenomenal turnover having never borrowed
• Gained accreditation to ISO 9001:2000 at first audit visit
• Developed total export sales in more than 60 countries
• Developed 21 overseas sales agencies
• Won numerous prestigious awards (see our trophy cabinet)
