What Martiplast does
Martiplast is a French privately held industrial equipment distributor founded in 1972 and headquartered in Martignat (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes). The company supplies a full-line portfolio of plastics transformation equipment covering the entire production chain — material storage and vacuum transport, drying and desiccation, gravimetric and volumetric dosing, injection presses, thermoregulation and cooling, conveying systems, Cartesian robotics and IML systems, and grinding/sorting/recycling equipment — alongside the five core processes it serves: injection, blow molding, extrusion, thermoforming, and recycling. In addition to its own-branded equipment, Martiplast distributes complementary machinery from nine technology partners including Moretto, Maguire, Lorandi, Babyplast, Tria, Crizaf, STAR Automation, Industrial Frigo, and Genox.
The company operates an enterprise field-sales model targeting French industrial plastics processors, supported by on-site technical consulting, feasibility studies, custom engineering, installation, operator training, preventive maintenance, and after-sales service. It claims a customer base of over 7,700 industrial accounts, which it characterizes as the majority of French plastics transformation industry operators. End-markets served include automotive, food and packaging, cosmetics and perfumery, electrical and electronics, industrial and consumer goods, and health and medical — with medical and clean-room applications positioned as a high-precision segment. The company employs 11–50 staff and is led by President Romain Rérolle, operating as an independent going concern with no disclosed external investment or parent company.
The revenue model is anchored on quote-based one-time equipment sales bundled with multi-year service contracts and recurring maintenance, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Martiplast has begun layering digital channels — a company website with lead capture, a LinkedIn presence, a YouTube channel, a digital after-sales troubleshooting entry point, and an online used-equipment storefront — onto its traditional direct sales motion, signaling incremental channel diversification while maintaining its France-only geographic footprint.
