For more than 40 years, Marathon Equipment Company has provided creative solutions for the global waste, recycling, and material handling markets through innovative products and superior service. Held privately for 23 years, Marathon Equipment was acquired in 1990 by Dover Corporation and operates as part of the Dover Industrial Products group.
Marathon’s RAMJET® line of waste handling equipment offers an extensive selection of stationary and self-contained compactors in various sizes to meet the customers’ needs. In addition to compactors and containers, other RAMJET products include vertical compactors, transfer station systems and apartment or high-rise compactors. Markets for these products include distribution centers, malls, stadiums, arenas, hotels/motels, warehouses, office complexes, apartment buildings, school systems, retail stores, recycling centers, etc.
Under the NEXGEN® line of recycling and material handling equipment, Marathon offers auto-tie balers, two-ram balers, manual-tie balers, vertical balers and conveyor systems to fit a variety of applications. Industries served include recycling centers, warehouse and distribution centers, non-ferrous scrap, printing and converting, document destruction, scrap paper recycling, municipalities, retails stores, etc.
In September 2006 Marathon launched its GreenBuilt® line of environmentally friendly products. The line offers solutions for reducing energy consumption and noise pollution with a focus on helping customers fulfill their own green initiatives. Marathon aims to build environmental considerations into every stage of the product life cycle — from development and design, to manufacturing and operations, to customer use and end-of-life product disposition.
Marathon is strongly committed to customer service, offering the largest sales and service network in the industry. The company’s products are sold through various sales channels including an extensive dealer and distributor network, rental and lease programs and direct sales. Direct sales are limited to national accounts such as large retail chains. Innovation and growth continues to be a key factor in Marathon’s success.
