[ALL YOU NEED] is Höfligers creed, which runs as a central theme in the thinking and acting throughout the company. Quality begins in the heads of employees and continues all the way to the finished product. The name Höfliger means innovation and customized engineering in the area of production and packaging machines. The project engineers always keep a good overall perspective of their complex development goals. In turn-key projects machine components from technology partners are joined into a functioning whole. The company brings specialized technical knowledge together with machine construction competence to its projects and does not thereby ignore the human factor. The project team combines personalized project consultation, individual training and the consideration of special customer requests together in the system development process. In a globalised market it is unusual to know the entire company management – with Höfliger direct contact to the upper levels of management is the norm.

He was fascinated with the idea and decided to launch a business along this line. However, marketing of the starter models - as part of the MARTOR programme - was anything but successful during the 1950/60s, simply because people preferred conventional pocket knifes and kitchen knifes to cut whatever needed cutting.The onset of the "do-it-yourself" hobby wave in the 1960s paved the ground towards improved sales, but it was not until 1976 that the major breakthrough was realized: MARTOR was the first company to introduce a SAFETY cutter with "automatic blade retract" on worldwide scale, namely the MARTOR-Profi, the original "GS - TESTED FOR SAFETY" by the German Safety Control Board TüV. Since then the main target of the company from Solingen is to support industrial customer with safety knives in means of a safer work place. In co-operation with industry and accident prevention associations a full range of safety knives has been developed. Todate, MARTOR´s proud product balance totals 270 type and model versions along with well over 300 different blade configurations, all of which make MARTOR the undisputed market leader. But in particular to “The Safer Cuttings Experts” due to the series of TUV proven and certified models.
