Armac Martin joins ACID following “blatant imitation”

ACID is a membership and campaigning organisation for design and intellectual property, to protect against theft.

CEO of Armac Martin Richard McGrail commented: “Over recent years, Armac Martin designs have increasingly been subject to blatant imitation, being manufactured in factories overseas leading to lower quality replica products trying to enter the luxury residential sector both here in the UK and across North America, with many of these designs being marketed as ‘original’.

Established since 1929, Armac Martin designs and manufacturers its sold brass product at its Birmingham factory.

“We are extremely proud to produce our own authentic designs, and have been expertly crafting them in the heart of England from the highest quality solid brass since 1929, and these imitation products will never have the same level of beauty and authenticity as our own pieces”, said Richard McGrail.

He concluded: “We are proud to be a member of ACID, promoting the value and importance of protecting original design and British manufacturing.”

Armac Martin recently unveiled a new brand identity, with its portfolio divided into Signature, Speciality and Luxe collection.
