Malmark

Jake Malta, the world's foremost designer of musically tuned bronze handbells, incorporated Malmark in November of 1973 and sold their first set of bells to Doylestown Presbyterian Church in 1974. He named the company to sound like "hallmark", a word which conveys quality. The company started in a 3000 sq. foot building in Doylestown and in 1978, m... oved a few miles away, to a facility approximately 6000 sq. feet. In 1985, the company moved to Plumsteadville occupying the former Keller Glove Factory site. Today, with additions, the company occupies almost 46,000 sq. feet. Due to the many design innovations, Malmark grew to lead the world in handbell quality and sales. The company offers the world's largest range of both handbells and handchimes in which the sets are matched to pitch within 4/100ths of a semitone on an A440 scale. Custom tuning and handle inscriptions are available as well as gift bells in many designs. The company's customers consist of both secular and faith-affiliated groups: schools, churches, community organizations, nursing homes and in music therapy. Many have found the company's instruments to be extremely useful in this COVID-19 environment. As percussion instruments, Malmark products have allowed music-making to continue during the pandemic. In addition to producing quality instruments, Malmark, a family owned and operated business, takes pride that its products are made MADE IN AMERICA.Read More
