Martin
Lockheed Martin
Corporation was formed in March 1995 with the merger of two of the world’s
premier technology companies, Lockheed Corporation and Martin Marietta
Corporation. In 1996, Lockheed Martin completed its strategic combination
with the defense electronics and systems integration businesses of Loral.
Lockheed Martin
traces its roots back to the early days of flight. In 1909 aviation
pioneer Glenn L. Martin organized a company around a modest airplane
construction business and built it into a major airframe supplier to
U.S. military and commercial customers. Martin Marietta was established
in 1961 when the Glenn L. Martin Company merged with American-Marietta
Corp., a leading supplier of building and road construction materials.
In 1913, Allan and Malcolm Loughhead (name later changed to Lockheed)
flew the first Lockheed plane over San Francisco Bay. The modern Lockheed
Corporation was formed in 1932 after the fledgling airplane company
was reorganized.
The former Loral
Corporation was founded in 1948 in New York City by William Lorenz and
Leon Alpert as a small defense electronics firm that over the years
grew into a multi-billion dollar firm. In sum, the new Lockheed Martin
Corporation comprises all or portions of 17 heritage companies.
Lockheed Martin
has more than 250 government and industry partnerships in 30 countries.
In its globally inclusive approach to doing business, Lockheed Martin’s
goals are to establish and maintain enduring international partnerships
with advanced technology companies around the world, and be seen as
their international partner of choice. The company seeks to establish
a long-term presence, earn the trust of customers, develop industrial
alliances for growth, and match corporate breadth with customer priorities.
