Our flexitime work arrangement allows our employees to work according to their own rhythm and gives them a high level of personal freedom, making it easier to combine career and private life.
Based in the Bavarian region of Allgäu.
At home throughout the world.
The MARTIN family has been shaping the company’s destiny for over 100 years, ever since it was founded. Deeply rooted in Ottobeuren, a Bavarian market town, the company has strong ties with the local community and a deep respect for the people who work for it. Our success is built on the foundation of ensuring the stability, safety and high standard of living of all our employees. Our driving force: having the opportunity to stay one step ahead of the competition in the development of woodworking machines, and finding innovative ways to influence the quality of end products. MARTIN has never been satisfied with a good solution if a better solution can be achieved. This claim has always connected MARTIN with its customers and attracted skilled workers from many disciplines – from the code line to the metal profile. Working together as a team is what makes us successful, qualified, motivated and committed. And at the same time, through their personal performance, each individual employee contributes to the overall success of the entire company.
The key to our success:
Our employees.


Flexitime work


Anniversary bonuses
Our employees are our capital! As an expression of our appreciation for their many years of service, they receive a special payment at regular intervals.


Subsidised company pension scheme
Every little saving adds up to a tidy sum. By combining your own savings, government grants and retirement pension schemes, you are already making provisions for your retirement today.


Drinking water dispenser
To ensure that our employees never ‘dry up’, we have installed modern drinking water dispensers throughout the company. So every employee can help themselves to still, carbonated or hot water at any time. Appropriate drinking bottles are provided free of charge.


Health days
The health of our employees is very important to us, which is why we regularly organise “MARTIN health days”. During these events, examinations and consultations are offered along with tips on the subject of “health at work and in leisure time”.


Company festivities
Because working hard and partying hard go hand in hand, we regularly organise company celebrations in the form of smaller or larger events. From summer parties to Christmas celebrations and corporate anniversaries, there’s always a good reason to get together and spend a few happy hours enjoying good food and drink.


Trainee trips
As a good team needs to grow together, our trainees regularly go on trips with their trainers such as to the indoor high ropes course at the former Klosterwald Abbey.


Canteen
Whether it’s a delicious meal made by our independent catering service, to which we make a daily contribution, or a snack that you bring in yourself, it doesn’t matter – everyone is welcome here. With its comfy seating area and “foosball” table, our modern, cosy canteen offers plenty of space for enjoying a relaxing break with colleagues.


JobRad
Via JobRad, our employees conveniently obtain their desired bike through us and enjoy all the benefits of employee leasing.


Apples
Fresh apples are available for our employees to enjoy every day.


Ergonomic workplaces
To prevent the stresses and strains of everyday work, we offer our employees ergonomic working conditions such as height-adjustable desks.


Work clothes
Work clothes are provided to all production area workers and to employees who come into contact with customers.
