(December 18, 2008) Nothing can magically light up a child's face quite like a shiny new toy for the holidays. Helping disadvantaged youngsters feel that joy is the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve "Toys for Tots" Program.  This year, and every year since 2004, Muller Martini has participated in the program, working together with the U.S. Marines to gather toys for donation to local boys and girls in need.

"I'm pleased to say that once again our employees joined in the effort to support this very worthy cause, collecting hundreds of toys," said Werner Naegeli, President and CEO of Muller Martini Corp.  "We're proud and honored to take part in such an important and rewarding program, giving back to the community and helping to brighten the holiday season for many young people."  Muller Martini presented the toys to the Marines during a special ceremony held at the company's headquarters in Hauppauge.

The annual mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve "Toys for Tots" program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December and distribute those toys as gifts to needy children.
