Martin Systems celebrates 50 years

Solutions have been the cornerstone of Martin Systems since its inception in 1974. The journey began when Charmin Tissue (formerly Proctor and Gamble) faced a significant challenge: rampant theft of toilet paper from railway boxcars in the dead of night. David Martin took on the responsibility of safeguarding his clients’ interests and possessions. In response, he ingeniously devised a security system comprising light beams, reflectors and bell alarms, effectively thwarting thieves and alerting security personnel.

Fast forward to the present day, and Martin Systems has burgeoned into a dynamic enterprise with more than 100 employees and life safety engineers across Green Bay, Milwaukee and Madison. Under the leadership of President Cory Peters and CEO Michael Martin, the company boasts a team of industry professionals dedicated to managing a client base exceeding 8,000. Remarkably, many clients have remained loyal for more than four decades — a testament to the enduring commitment of Martin Systems in safeguarding their interests.

As it navigates the rapidly evolving landscape of life safety technology, Martin Systems remains at the forefront, consistently delivering cutting-edge solutions that mitigate risks and solve complex problems for its clients. Today’s systems leverage smart technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), enabling high-level notifications and alerts. The latest installations can preemptively notify security and life safety professionals even before potential issues arise, showcasing the remarkable evolution witnessed over the past 50 years. 

At Martin Systems, the commitment to innovation and client protection remains unwavering as it continues to shape the future of life safety technology.
