“Which industries do you currently supply your press pads to?”

Marathon was formed in the UK in 1976, to fill a small niche as a woven conveyor belt manufacturer.

Since the early days, our market research, development and innovation has taken us into the field of specialized performance textiles for wide-ranging industrial applications, including pressure compensating pads.

“What about here and now?”

Amongst other products, we are now manufacturers of pressure compensating pads, which are used in the production of laminated products, including high pressure and low pressure decorative laminates, plywood, laminate flooring, veneer panels and special products to meet customer specifications. 

There are many applications for pressure compensation media throughout industry.
