Martin South Africa-minMartin Engineering recently celebrated its 20th anniversary of growth across the African continent. The company first entered Africa in November 2003 with the acquisition of South African business Scorpio Conveyor Products.

Two decades later Martin Engineering has grown significantly, with employee numbers increasing 10-fold to almost 200 people, and a customer base that now spans 10 countries and a range of industries across Africa. The business also has plans for further growth thanks to an ambitious team of technical experts and an innovative range of products that deliver cleaner, safer and more productive materials handling.

Joining the 20th anniversary celebrations was global CEO Robert Nogaj who traveled to Martin’s regional headquarters in Emalahleni, Mpumalanga, South Africa to meet employees and business partners who have played a key role in Martin’s success.

“The African continent is a global supplier of essential minerals and metals, and an important market for Martin,” Nogaj said. “Over the past two decades we have made substantial investments in our production facilities and introduced new technologies that have helped our African business to grow and evolve. Yet the most important investment we have made is in supporting and developing our people, fostering talent and promoting diversity in the workplace.

Martin is among the few engineering firms in South Africa that have achieved ISO45001 (health and safety management) accreditation, reflecting the company’s commitment to maintaining high safety standards and fostering a true safety culture. .
