Martek Marine attend IMPA 2013

Last week was the annual International Marine and PurchasingAssociation Exhibition in London, and Martek were proud to attend once again.

Regional Sales managers Gary Rees and Ryan Bullock attended the event with Erica Hadley, Executive Assistant to the Sales Director.

Ryan commented “It was great to meet up with our customers at the IMPA conference once again. Seeing everyone at the UK’s leading maritime event brought a vibrant atmosphere to the event, and I can’t wait to be back again next year!”

The Martek stand had demonstrations of the recently launched potable water testing kits DRINKSAFE™ and DRINKSAFE™ Max, as well as portable gas detection, gas tubes, and calibration gas.

Erica Hadley said “It was great to catch up with old faces and meet new customers at this busy exhibition. We’ve made some great connections over the two days in London and we look forward to keeping in touch throughout the year.”

EBS’s Nabawy Mostafa Nabawy, has recently visited Martek Marine’s head office where he met with the whole Martek team and undertook extensive training on all Martek systems including Navgard™ - the World’s No.1 BNWAS.

Martek Marine opens a new Calibration Gas Hub in Suez

New hub supplies Suez Canal shipping

One year on from Martek Marine’s launch of the Fastcalgas calibration gas supply service and the business is going from strength to strength, so much so that in response to customer demand a new hub has been opened in Suez.

Steve Coulson, Director at Martek Marine explains:

“Last year we launched Fastcalgas with the aim of taking the pain out of the process of buying calibration gas and making the whole process a lot simpler for our customers. The business has grown rapidly over the last twelve months and the next step towards ensuring consistent levels of fast service was to increase the number of stock holding hubs.”

This new hub brings the total number to 6, with locations already set up in the UK, USA, Shanghai, Singapore and Dubai.

“Feedback from our customers told us that getting calibration gas on time and cost effectively to The Suez was particularly problematic. By having this location established we can now guarantee next day delivery in this region and ensure the most competitive pricing levels” added Mr Coulson.
