35 Years!

Share this Post:

WATERLOO, CAN –– Martin Audio recently celebrated 35 years in loudspeaker design and manufacturing at the Roadhouse club at The Piazza in London's Covent Garden. Not coincidentally, the Roadhouse is situated on the site of Martin Audio's original manufacturing facility where the company, under the leadership of David Martin, began building loudspeaker systems for productions like Pink Floyd, The Who, ELP, Supertramp, Dire Straits and others. 35 years later, Martin Audio is still driven by a design team constantly seeking to push the boundaries.

Originally, Martin Audio had distribution in only one or two countries. Now the company has its own operation in North America and a steadily growing business in nearly 50 markets around the world, with a wide range of loudspeakers for touring, commercial installations and more.

Commenting on this milestone in the company's history, Managing Director David Bissett-Powell stated, "I knew David back in the early days and we continued a relationship right up until his untimely death. I think he'd be quite proud of how the company has progressed and the team that we've built over the last 15 years. Some of his early customers are still with us today, and it feels like the Martin Audio Team, our distributors and customers are all one big family.

"Every morning when I enter our facility I pass the bronze bust of David Martin in our entrance lobby and never fail to think that his initial passion is what started this whole business 35 years ago."
