What Martco MFG does

MartCo MFG is a privately held, design-build manufacturer of steel and aluminum stadium and sports facility structures, headquartered in Jacksboro, Texas, with approximately 7 employees. The company operates an entirely in-house production model, executing custom design, engineering, fabrication, and field installation for bleachers, grandstands, press boxes, stadium seating, railing systems, batting cages, band and coaching towers, shade structures, and renovations. It holds exclusive certified design-builder status for the Champion Wall branded system across Texas and Oklahoma, and is a TIPS Qualified Vendor, allowing school districts and government entities to procure without formal competitive bidding.

MartCo's revenue is generated through project-based, one-time design-build contracts with K-12 school districts, universities, contractors, and sports venue owners. Pricing is quote-based and varies by capacity, customization, materials, and scope of services. The portfolio spans small district bleacher renovations (e.g., Granbury ISD, Louise ISD) up to multi-thousand-seat enterprise projects, including the renovation of 5,100 MLB seats at Oracle Park for the San Francisco Giants and a 2,000-seat design-build at Buck Jackson Arena in Pecos, Texas. Geographic operations are concentrated in Texas and Oklahoma, with selective reach into California and other states.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supported by a portfolio-driven website, customer testimonials, and the TIPS purchasing cooperative channel. The firm emphasizes a single-contact model across the project lifecycle, in-house quality control at every fabrication stage, and professional installation by an experienced crew. Founder Anthony Martinez leads the business, which appears to be founder-owned with no institutional investment, M&A activity, or public listing evident in available data.
