Dated November 4, 1996
“The name of our company, MAR-MAC, comes from Martin and McLeod. [In 1953], McBee had three telephones, one of which was ours. Elvis had not yet made a recording. Only a few homes had television and all were black and white.
As the Company grew it was separated into operation divisions – Wire Products and Industrial Sewing. I took ownership of the wire operation and we are incorporated as MAR-MAC Wire, Inc. The two companies have about 400 employees.
All of it came from a piece of cotton cloth, hemmed on each edge, with a wire in the hem. “
— J.W. Martin, Jr.
