Lockheed Corp.  

Definition

  • The Lockheed Martin Corporation came into existence in 1909 when aviator Glenn Martin developed a small business into what is today one of the largest aircraft suppliers in the world. Though growth was slow in the early years, Lockheed capitalized on the expanded global trade markets in the immediate aftermath of World War II to expand and increase revenues quickly.
