After taking up residence on the second floor of a warehouse in Chicago’s West Side wholesale district, The Martec Group was making a name for itself in the transportation market.
Martec continued to expand and prosper throughout the 1980’s, adding a healthcare practice in 1986.

Detroit

A well-respected group of market research professionals, working closely with the Chicago headquarters, launched the Detroit office of The Martec Group in 1990, now located in Royal Oak, Michigan.
The company was then comprised of four partners and continued to grow rapidly, adding chemical, energy, and building & construction industry expertise. This “merger of equals” also allowed the establishment of an alliance with a respected consulting firm based in Frankfurt, Germany, thus cementing access to the European markets of interest for our multinational clients.
