From the very beginning, our company was driven by a vision to fill a void in the market, addressing the gap left by other manufacturers. Our goal was simple yet ambitious: to offer a harmonious blend of quality and affordability. Fast forward over a decade, and MRMK continues to stay true to its original mission, fulfilling everything we set out to achieve all those years ago. We take immense pride in providing razor-sharp precision machine knives that not only exceed clients’ expectations but also come at a reasonable price.

One of the most remarkable milestones in our journey was the move into our new factory in 2017. This step marked a pivotal moment in our expansion, allowing us to enhance our production capabilities, streamline operations, and provide an even better experience for our valued customers.

In 2020, we were proud to share that Foresight recognised our potential and acquired MRMK. This partnership not only fuelled our growth but also opened new avenues for innovation and collaboration. With Foresight’s support, we have been able to further elevate our products and services to meet the evolving needs of the industry.

Now, let’s go down memory lane and look at some old photos and see how it all started..

How it all started – A Journey of Innovation and Dedication

From humble beginnings with just one man and a plan, we have come a long way. MRMK’s remarkable story began in 2008 when Michael Bailey had the vision to create a world-leading manufacturer of industrial machine knives.

Nestled in the heart of Sheffield, the Steel City, and the birthplace of Stainless Steel, MRMK took its first steps towards success. With a custom-built facility, we established our roots in this historic city, allowing us to seamlessly operate from one of the world’s finest machine knife factories. This strategic decision enabled us to break free from the cycle of overcharging and underdelivering that had plagued the industry for decades. At MRMK, we are committed to doing things differently, always putting customer satisfaction at the forefront.

At the core of our philosophy is the belief that you shouldn’t have to compromise when it comes to the machine knives you use. That’s why we design our knives to be more than just tools – they are crafted to be effective, durable, and deliver a precision cutting experience that minimizes downtime. We understand that your business relies on the reliability and performance of our products, and we take that responsibility seriously.

MRMK’s expertise in machine knives extends across a wide range of industries, including meat, seafood, poultry, fruit, vegetables, plastics, paper, card, medical and many more. Our specialisation lies in providing the sharpest and most reliable cutting edges for any blade, ensuring that your operations run smoothly and efficiently.

As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, we reflect upon the journey that has brought us to where we are today. From our beginnings in Sheffield to becoming a global leader in industrial machine knives, it is the commitment of our team and the trust of our customers that have fuelled our growth and success.

Today, we are proud to have a team of over 30 dedicated and skilled professionals who bring their expertise to every aspect of our business. Our international sales office has been instrumental in expanding our global reach, allowing us to serve over 1,000 clients across borders and establish long-lasting partnerships built on trust, transparency and honesty.

Our People

As we mentioned, we owe a significant part of our success to our exceptional team members, some of whom have been with us for over a decade.

Their unwavering dedication, expertise, and commitment have played a crucial role in shaping our company’s culture and driving our growth. We are grateful for their loyalty and look forward to many more years of collaboration and shared accomplishments.

Investing in the Future

By investing in the next generation of skilled professionals, we aim to continue pushing boundaries, fostering innovation, and ensuring a bright future for MRMK and the wider industrial machine knife manufacturing sector.

Innovation – The birth of InfinitEdge:

One of our proudest achievements is the invention of InfinitEdge, a ground-breaking solution that has revolutionised the industrial knife industry. The superior performance, extended lifespan, and exceptional precision of InfinitEdge have set new standards and earned the trust of countless professionals worldwide.

Our Causes

MRMK supports many charitable causes each year. Through sponsored cake mornings, to local fundraisers, we’ve raised thousands to provide generous donations to charitable organisations that are local to us and close to our hearts.

As we celebrate 15 years of excellence, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our valued customers, partners, and our exceptional team. Without your trust, support, and commitment, none of this would have been possible. We are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of innovation, delivering cutting-edge solutions, and growing together with you.

Here’s to 15 years of success and the countless milestones that lie ahead.

Thank you for being a part of the MRMK journey!
