 Technics,
Inc. and
Marmax Systems
have serviced the manufacturing equipment
needs of the cast polymer industry for over
twenty years. In the late 1970’s and early
1980’s many cultured marble plants
were rather primitive by today’s standards.
We were approached by a local, growing
cultured marble manufacturer, Bill Harris,
owner of American Marble; he was
locating to a new facility and was
interested in setting up a conveyor
system that would allow his employees to
move molds around the shop to different work
areas. Drawing on our background of material
handling systems for manufacturing plants
and distribution centers, we developed a
“track” system which not only enabled his
employees to easily move molds to and from
each work station but also to place the
molds in vertical conveyor racks for curing
and storage. Not satisfied with equipment
being adapted from other industries, more
inquiries were made about building
booths,
ovens,
scissors lifts, and other components
specifically for the need of a marble
shops.
 From
this first system, news spread about this
new equipment designed just for marble
plants. The first decade of business was
spent building equipment and traveling from
one plant to another installing production
systems. Attendance and exhibits at Polycon
and other trade shows throughout the years
brought increased interest from other
domestic and international manufacturers.
By the mid
1980’s some cultured marble manufacturers
cast an eye toward expanding their
businesses by producing densified products
or solid surface. After testing and
evaluating equipment thought to produce an
acceptable product it became clear a new
type of mixer would be required. However,
very little knowledge of how to make
solid surface was available. So the
first matter at hand was very “hands on”;
how to make “densified”, then engineer the
equipment to fulfill that requirement.
The result
was development of the
Series II vacuum mixers and the
Pot Tamer pouring dolley. As
solid surface became more popular the
industry grew and provided us the
opportunity to develop more equipment. Later
developments included
dust collectors,
post curing ovens, and
stainless
steel molds.
Solid
surface manufacturing has thrived and
cultured marble remains stronger than
ever. Now, with many manufacturers
evaluating the “fit” of natural and
engineered stone products to their current
business plans we look forward to creating
new solutions to help you increase your
productivity and efficiency.
 From
our manufacturing plant and warehouse
facilities in Birmingham, Alabama, we
design, build, and test our equipment. We
have remained a family owned company and
have made many valued long term
relationships with our customers over the
years. Most know us as their source to call
whenever they need equipment,
mixers,
steel
molds, or assistance with
special projects.
We pride ourselves on having the ability and
manufacturing capacity to work with our
customers “one on one” to provide standard
components or equipment for “one of a kind”
applications.
 From
a single mixer to a full scale, state of the
art, production system we want to be your
source for manufacturing equipment.

and services.
Thanks, we
look forward to hearing from you -
