Marland Expanding— Manufacturing Facility Moved To Wisconsin

Marland Environmental Systems, Inc., one o f the leading manufacturers of marine sewage systems, is moving its entire manufacturing facility to Walworth, Wis., the location of its parent company, LaMere Industries, Inc.

In announcing the location change, Robert L. Ward, chairman of the board for Marland, explained that the move will enable the company to greatly expand its manufacturing facilities to meet the increasing demands for large-scale marine sewage systems. At the same time, he added, Marland will establish a New York City sales office under the management of Bob Daniels, vice president-sales.

"In making this move," Mr.

Ward said, "we will be in a much better position to serve the marine industry, stepping up production on the Marland line to meet growing demands, and at the same time serving the immediate needs of the industry through the Eastern sales office." Marland Environmental Systems was established in 1969 to design and manufacture largescale marine sewage systems. La- Mere Industries, a leading manufacturer of similar devices f o r smaller craft, became associated with the company in 1973 and assumed control in order to provide the financial support needed to step up production to meet the 1980 deadlines for onboard sewage treatment facilities. "The corporate family will now be in a position to serve the entire marine industry with a full line of U.S. Coast Guard certified waste treatment units for any size vessel now sailing or being built," Mr. Ward says.
