History of Martin Engineering

Founded in 1944, the first product developed by Martin Engineering was the Vibrolator® Vibrator, which was patented by Edwin F. Peterson and is still used today to keep bulk material flow running efficiently. His new invention was designed to improve safety, efficiency and productivity of companies involved in the handling of bulk materials. His concept was both simple and impactful because it required only a single moving part – a chrome ball racing through a steel-enclosed circular track – powered by compressed air. Starting with that first product and continuing to this day, Martin has been committed to safety, excellence and innovation in bulk material handling.
