Nils Assarsson
Software Developer at Martinsson

“Working at Martinsson has given me the possibility to develop as a software engineer by letting me take on challenging tasks and responsibilities when I feel that I want to learn something new. This has also given me the opportunity to gain experience in related fields such as hardware and product knowledge, customer relations and other things concerning R&D.

I instantly felt at home when I came here in 2020, and I look forward to keep being a part to our joint development and expansion.”

Milestones and Policies

Evolution

Over 50 years ago Martinsson started as a distributor of electronic components in general, but over the years has increasingly specialized in displays. With a development team of both hardware and software, we took the step to customized solutions and is now the market leader in display integration.

We deliver everything from the display to developing and delivering complex control systems, where the display is one of the most important components of a human-machine interface. The basis for the development work is the customer’s wishes and the lowest possible total cost.
