The brand’s history

The story of Martex is entwined with the evolution cycles that have characterised the development of design and furniture. For 50 years, Martex has been curious about this evolution, grasping signs of change and innovation that represent the daily stimulus for the continuous development of its products.

Purchased in 1979 by Dr. Antonio Petrovich, Martex has always specialised in the production of office furniture. In 2001 Ivan Petrovich assumed the role of President, redefining strategies and objectives, and bringing with him a strong impetus for change. This marked the launch of the design and construction line of products with strong functional and aesthetic content, simultaneously setting up partnerships with global designers and architects of repute.

People focused at heart

“We are a united team, Martex is characterised by our great team spirit,” says Ivan Petrovich, CEO of Martex.

People are the main source of the brand’s success. The voice of its employees is important in the birth of a new product or the development of a project, which comes from the collaboration of several people with different skills. The brand proudly boasts 70 percent of its workforce to have been with them for more than eight years.
