Job Description

About Marlin Industries

We are a company providing a wide range of cable reels and drums to the cable industry. We specialise in trying to be as sustainable as possible, so we not only make reels and drums from new, but also provide comprehensive support services designed to maximise their reuse. With our own vehicle fleet we deliver not only reels and drums that we make or refurbish, we move full drums of cable to sites across the UK and then collect the packaging once empty. Finally, our specialised end of life recycling facilities for cable packaging helps ensure nothing is thrown away.

Over our 30+ years of operation we have built up considerable experience in the handling and moving of reels and drums of all sizes. This knowledge and expertise enables us to provide on site support to cable manufacturers as part of their logistics fulfilment operation.
