Maranatha Machine and Model was started in Galesburg, Michigan in 1998. We have been meeting the secondary operation equipment needs of local industries since then. Working primarily with injection molders, we are very familiar with the needs of this industry; but we also have experience in other fields such as tool and die, sheet metal, and food service companies.

A question that we have been asked many times is, "Where did you come up with that name?" The word maranatha is found in the King James Version of the Bible. It is an Aramaic word meaning "the Lord is coming" or "when the Lord comes." We chose this name for the company as a reminder that some day the Lord Jesus Christ is coming to earth again to receive His church and then to become ruler over His creation. Remembering this helps us keep the right perspective about the way we live our lives and about what we give first place in our lives. We at Maranatha seek to honor the Lord Jesus Christ in all of our practices. We believe that God has given us the time we have on this earth to honor and glorify Him; and we hope our work ethic and standards demonstrate this belief.

At the end of all things, a right relationship with Him, the Savior, is all that will matter. If you would like more information on knowing Christ as your Savior, just call or e-mail and let us know. We'd be glad to help!
