LOCKHEED MARTIN

Lockheed Martin Website: http://www.lockheedmartin.com/

Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company involved in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems and products. The company also provides a broad range of management, engineering, technical, scientific, logistic, and information services. Lockheed Martin’s products and services are provided to both domestic and international customers.  The company’s main areas of focus are in defense, space, intelligence, homeland security, and information technology, including cyber security.  The company’s history started in August of 1912 (almost one hundred years ago), when Glenn L. Martin established the Glenn L. Martin Company in Los Angeles, California. He started the company after building his first plane in a rented church, where he took a leap of faith on his risky but innovative new aircraft design at the urging of none other than Orville Wright.  Today, Lockheed Martin is a Maryland corporation which was formed in 1995 by combining the businesses of Lockheed Corporation and Martin Marietta Corporation.

According to the company’s 2011 Annual Report, Lockheed Martin is “….operating in an environment that is characterized by both increasing complexity in the global security environment, as well as continuing economic pressures in the U.S. and globally. A significant component of our strategy in this environment is to focus on core program execution, improving the quality and predictability of the delivery of our products and services, and placing more security capability into the hands of our customers at affordable prices. Recognizing that our U.S. Government customers are resource constrained, we are endeavoring to develop and extend our portfolio in a disciplined manner with a focus on international and adjacent markets. Finally, we are focused on cost reduction, through actions such as our workforce reductions in 2011 and programs like our Voluntary Executive Separation Program (VESP) and facility reduction initiatives in 2010, to further enhance the value of our products and services.”
