THOMAS RIPSAM

Dear Martin Community,

I am so pleased to share Martin’s second annual impact report highlighting some of our new and ongoing efforts to support local and global communities, our colleagues, and the environment. Here at Martin, we are very proud of the work we do, and we take every possible opportunity to reduce, reuse, and recycle throughout our facilities and our product line. Every year we strive to do more, to provide artists like you with the best instruments and strings that you can feel good using to make music for the world.

Sincerely,

Thomas Ripsam President and CEO

For nearly two centuries, the one constant that has made C. F. Martin & Co special is its people. Without the dedicated employees who show up every day and take pride in making the best acoustic guitars and strings in the world, we would not be thriving today. And we know this will be true for centuries to come. So, it is no surprise that nurturing our valued employees is at the top of our priority list. Here, we will share a few programs in place to ensure our co-workers’ well-being.
