Martin began manufacturing aircraft in the early days of aviation at the beginning of the 20th century and went on to become one of the leading military airplane manufacturers in the United States.
Martin was able to underbid Consolidated on the monoplanes because it did not have to bear the development costs.
Martin accepted the award on behalf of "everyone who worked on the design and who helped rivet it together." But that wasn't good enough for the Air Corps Materiel Division, whose engineers insisted that Martin should have said he "owed it all" to them.

 Southern Environmental Law Center
Martin Marietta had sued the Corps, arguing that a 20-acre impoundment it created downstream of its Appling Quarry had rendered the upstream waters where it wanted to build the sedimentation pond "isolated," and therefore non-jurisdictional.
In 1996, Martin Marietta received a Section 404 permit to affect 3.45 acres of waters in connection with the construction of the impoundment.
That determination...was based, in part, on Martin Marietta's representations that the in-stream impoundment that the Corps permitted in 1996-97 is, in fact, a wastewater treatment facility and that it was authorized as such a facility by the Corps at the time.

Martin Company received informal indications from the Air Force that Titan II would be selected as the launch vehicle for NASA's advanced Mercury.
Martin intended to keep the launch vehicle as much like the weapon system as possible; thus the data obtained from the Air Force's weapon system development program would be applicable to the launch vehicle.
This test, similar to CST performed at the Martin plant, comprised an abbreviated countdown and simulation of flight events, with a simulator representing electrical characteristics of the spacecraft; its purpose was to establish confidence in the launch vehicle.

 Martin Marietta subsidiary aims to make trailers
Despite a sales falloff of nearly 50% in the North American trailer market, a subsidiary of defense contractor Martin Marietta is moving forward with plans to introduce a new trailer to the trucking industry.
Martin Marietta expects to complete closed track testing of its new trailers this fall and plans to accept orders for trailers in early 2003.
Martin Marietta said the trailers will be made of fiber-reinforced composites, made of continuous glass or carbon fabrics in a polymer resin, which have high strength and durability, but lower weight than steel and better corrosion resistance.

 Thomas Pownall; led Martin Marietta - The Boston Globe
Thomas Gilmore Pownall, the savvy and hard-nosed executive who repelled a hostile takeover of Martin Marietta in the 1980s and guided the company's transformation into one of the country's leading defense electronics firms, died June 24 of pneumonia at Manor Care Potomac in suburban Potomac, Md. He was 83.
Pownall, former chairman and chief executive of Martin Marietta, achieved corporate celebrity status in 1982 when he led the company's defense during a 33-day test of financial wills against the larger Bendix Corp. His strategy to gobble up the competition before it could consume Martin Marietta was christened the ''Pac-Man defense" by Wall Street analysts.
He was elected to the board of directors in 1971, as president and chief operating officer in 1977, as chief executive in 1982, and as chairman in 1983, a position he held until his retirement in 1987.

 Planetary Casualties, by David Barsamian
At the other end of the county, the Martin Marietta facility, which was producing Titan missiles and testing fuels, was pouring toxic waste into a public water supply that in the 1970s and 1980s was serving predominantly middle-income white subdivisions in and around Littleton.
Martin Marietta had the nerve to tell the State Health Department that they didn’t want them to conduct the assessment, because it could hurt them in a civil action suit that had been brought by a number of residents whose babies had died and whose children had contracted cancers and other problems.
But these were the same compounds that Martin Marietta was illegally dumping into the public water supply at issue in Littleton that I’ve researched for 20 years and will probably work on for another 20 years because of its gravity.

The short version is that I worked for Martin Marietta for a little over 6 years full time and less than a year part time.
In early 1987 I was asked if I would be interested in the QC position at the quarry and was told that it may lead to a later chance at being considered for a district QC and/or safety position.
About the end of May 1988 I went back to work full time at Martin Marietta for the summer with the understanding that on August 19 I would quit the full time job because I would go back to school and start working part time again.

 Southern Environmental Law Center Press Release   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The groups were concerned that if Martin Marietta had succeeded, thousands of wetlands and many miles of streams in Georgia that are upstream of impoundments might no longer be protected from polluted, even toxic discharges, or from being filled in.
"This was a brazen attempt by Martin Marietta to undo the federal government's authority to protect wetlands and streams for public good." SELC had filed a motion on behalf of four conservation groups - Savannah Riverkeeper, Georgia Wildlife Federation, National Wildlife Federation and Natural Resources Defense Council - who sought to intervene in the case.
In 1996, Martin Marietta obtained a permit from the Corps to dam an unnamed tributary of the Savannah River to create a 20-acre impoundment to supply water for its quarry operations.

 Military-Industrial Complex Revisited: New Military Mega-Companies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In recent years, Lockheed Martin and its allies in the weapons industry have aggressively pushed for favorable treatment from the federal government in the form of special subsidies, lucrative contracts for big-ticket weapons systems, and wholesale changes in U.S. policies on arms sales and military technology transfers.
First, at a meeting that Lockheed Martin’s Norman Augustine refers to as the "last supper," Perry bluntly told industry executives that the Pentagon would not be ordering enough ships, planes, and tanks to support the number of major military contractors that had been sustained by the Reagan military buildup of the 1980s.
At the urging of then Martin Marietta CEO Norman Augustine, in the summer of 1993 Perry and Deutch signed off on a new policy under which the Pentagon would partially underwrite defense industry mergers by picking up the costs of moving equipment, dismantling factories, and providing golden parachutes for top executives (see Figure 5).
