What we stand for
Expertise
SETTING STANDARDS WITH EXCELLENCE AND EXPERTISE.
MARTOR is the leading international partner for safe cutting solutions. As a family-owned company based in Solingen, Germany, we have been combining quality with innovation for over 80 years to manufacture premium cutting tools for industrial and professional use.
Safety
We protect people and goods.
Safety is our top priority – for the people who work with our products and for the goods they process every day. Our cutting solutions minimise the risk of injury while helping to prevent damage to packaging contents. This is how we protect what matters – in every application.
Responsibility
We conserve resources and responsibly shape the working world of tomorrow.
We understand responsibility in a comprehensive sense – ecologically, economically and socially. We develop products that conserve resources, are durable and ensure safe working conditions. At the same time, we take responsibility for people: for our employees and their families, for the region in which we are rooted, and for our partners worldwide. Together, we are shaping a working world that secures the future – for people, the environment and society.
partnership
This is how we inspire our customers. Together. With confidence. Every day.
Our customers are our top priority. With innovative products, well-designed services and a commitment to partnership, we accompany them on their journey towards greater safety, efficiency and ergonomics. But our enthusiasm doesn't stop with our customers: we also want to impress our suppliers, distribution partners and employees – and turn them into true MARTOR fans. Because that's what drives us: working together to make the working day more enjoyable with MARTOR – in short: a good day, for sure.

We are family
MARTOR is a genuine family business. Even as a child, I often visited the office and tried to actively support my grandparents and parents. Today, as a representative of the third generation, I bear sole responsibility as the sole shareholder: for MARTOR as an employer, ensuring that it provides our wonderful employees with a reliable professional home. And for sustainable growth. From our headquarters in Solingen, we want to consolidate our position in a secure working environment and further expand our market leadership. However, I am also committed to ensuring that this is done in line with our ecological, economic and social sustainability goals."

Why MARTOR?
Our company founder, E. Helmut Beermann, was looking for a short, memorable and unique name that would also work internationally – and came up with: MARTOR. He was inspired by the marten, with its razor-sharp teeth. This is understandable at a time when E. Helmut Beermann mainly traded in razor blades. But the name is also fitting today. In addition to the sharpness of its teeth, the marten is characterised by its extremely strong bite force in relation to its body size. If you try one of our safety knives, you may also think: it's impressive how much power and cutting performance is packed into such a compact handle.
