Established in 1985, MARCO today employs over 70 staff who work mainly out of our head office in Edenbridge, Kent.
MARCO’s unwavering commitment to investing in our employees and fostering a culture of innovation, coupled with our relentless pursuit of excellence, has solidified our position as a leading supplier of productivity-enhancing solutions for manufacturing and packaging operations across diverse industries globally.
In 2019, our acquisition by ATS Automation, an industry leader in factory automation systems, has empowered us to leverage their global reach, cutting-edge technologies, and comprehensive after-market services platform. This strategic partnership enables us to adapt swiftly to the rapidly evolving landscape, delivering solutions that consistently exceed our clients’ expectations.
