About MARTIN Special Technics
MARTIN Special Technics GmbH, headquartered in Nördlingen, develops, manufactures and assembles generator systems for mobile power generation that are driven by the vehicle engine or power take-off. The portfolio includes VOLTSTAR add-on and underfloor generators (3.5–10 kW at 230 V, 8–10 kW or systems up to 50 kW at 400 V three-phase), MaCo compressor systems for compressed air, air-conditioning systems for operator cabins and racks, as well as hydraulic systems. In addition, the company builds special-purpose vehicles and special gearboxes as complete solutions from a single source. Manufacturing is carried out in-house using CNC technology (3- and 5-axis milling machines, turning centers) in single-unit, small and large series; materials are aluminium, steel and plastics. Product development with SOLIDWORKS, feasibility studies and 3D-printed prototypes accompany projects from idea to market launch. Customers come from commercial vehicle technology, municipal services, fire brigades, breakdown services and workshop/refrigerated vehicle construction; since July 2020 the GmbH has been certified to ISO 9001:2015.
