Martin & King


Martin & King was a manufacturing company based in Clayton, Victoria, Australia. The company originally specialised in making motor vehicle bodies and railway locomotives and rolling stock.

History

The company was initially based in the Melbourne suburb of Armadale from at least 1948, later opening a plant to manufacture railway rolling stock at Clayton in the 1950s. In 1959, a new plant was opened at Somerton, which was provided with its own railway siding. Clyde Engineering acquired a controlling interest in the company in 1954. The Somerton plant is today occupied by Downer Rail.
