Martek Moves to a
New Home

Three years ago, we announced our factory re-location from Southern California to Raleigh, North Carolina.

At first, things were kinda strange (You call that barbecue?!) and though the beach was now three hours away 'stead of three miles, the beautiful countryside and friend-ly local folk made us feel right at home.

During these last three years, we worked real hard to improve quality control as well as our customer service. We must be doing something right 'cause y'all keep choosing us time and again over the "other guys".

Well, the "downside" of your support is that it didn't take us long to outgrow our old place. Not to mention the space was less than ideal ("Hey, it's my turn to use the bathroom!"). So, we decided to build our own place complete with state-of-the-art telephone and computer systems, engineering and test labs, and yes, more bathrooms.

Now, there's no need to panic; just because we got us a new building doesn't mean our prices are all sudden-like going up. [Shoot, the last price increase we had was in 1989 when we charged a bit more for our dissolved oxygen sensor 'cause the price of platinum went up. Fact of the matter is we've lowered prices over the years.] Now, all of our phone and fax numbers haven't changed a bit. The same goes for our mailing address. However, we do have a new shipping address:

Martek Instruments, Inc.
2609 Discovery Drive, Suite 125
Raleigh, NC 27616

Use this address when you want to send anything to us for repair, re-certification, or trade-in (see our last Fearless Flyer!). And if you're ever in our neck of the woods, come on by and we'll give you a tour. Heck, we'll even buy you a soda from our new coke machine.

"We got us a Web Page!"

At first, Management thought a web page was some dust-covered drawing from the Engineering Dept., but we finally convinced 'em to join the 21st century. (Besides, how else were we gonna down-load the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED Swim Suit issue?) Anyhow, if you want to "browse" our brochures, "scrutinize" our newsletters, or "peruse" our Fearless Flyers, this is one of the easier ways of doing it. 'Course, if you're tired of all this high-falutin, de-humanized form of communication, you can always pick up the phone, dial our 800 number and ask us to mail 'em to you. It's just as easy.

By the way, our Web Site address is http://www.4martek.com. For you folks who like to write instead of talk, our E-mail address is martek@ntwrks.com.
