Marmic welcomes a new team hailing from Morton, Mississippi
Marmic is pleased to welcome the Martin Blough Company—a team that proudly carries on the legacy of its founder and namesake, Martin Blough, a former firefighter and business owner. For more than 50 years, the company has served communities across Mississippi with pride and dedication. The excerpt below, taken from MBC’s About Us page, shares the story of its early years, its growth over the decades, and Martin’s deep passion for serving his community.
“Martin Blough Company was founded on a call to service, protecting life, and property. After serving in the Army, Martin Blough joined the Jackson Fire Department in Jackson, Mississippi. Those years of service had a huge impact on his life. In 1969, as all fireman, a “side hustle” was needed- a young married man with 3 small children, Martin took a step of faith and began selling Fire Trucks to various cities and towns throughout Mississippi; a few years later, he added fire extinguisher sales and service; later, for what he is best known, vent hood and fire suppression installations and services.”
A note from Martin Blough: “We still have customers today that were with me in the beginning. Together, we have seen our businesses and families have ups and downs, twists and turns, good times and bad times, and even passing down businesses to 2nd and 3rd generations…so many customers that I consider my close friends. We have done life together.”
Situated about 35 miles east of Jackson, MS the new team will work closely with the Gulfport team as they settle in with Marmic.
Welcome, MBC team!
