Consolidating a fast-growing product line
Marotta Controls has opened a new facility in Parsippany, New Jersey, that will serve as the company's Center of Excellence for Power and Actuation Systems. The facility consolidates engineering, development, manufacturing, assembly, and testing under one roof for the first time.
Engineering and program management have been in Parsippany since 2022, but operations remained in Montville, the company's original facility and headquarters since 1945.
Facility design and capabilities
The new AS9100-certified space adds roughly 50,000 square feet of manufacturing capacity and 12,000 square feet of design/development lab space. The floor layout was designed using value stream mapping to create a sequential flow from shipping and receiving through production.
Vibration, thermal, and shock testing are now in-house at the facility, reducing the need to move hardware between locations.
Leadership perspective
Steve Fox, senior vice president, Power and Actuation Systems, Marotta Controls, said:
"The Parsippany facility was designed from a clean sheet of paper. The goal was to achieve the lowest possible cost at the highest standard of quality; bringing design, assembly, and test together is how you get there. By minimizing product movement and maximizing workflow efficiency we have the ideal environment for collaboration, innovation, and significantly reduced development timelines."
Patrick Marotta, president and CEO, Marotta Controls, added:
"Power and Actuation has been our fastest-growing product line for a reason: the team delivers. This facility is our investment in their continued success, and another sign of our commitment to staying and growing right here in New Jersey."
Growth trajectory
Power and Actuation Systems is Marotta's youngest and fastest-growing product line. The company has added roughly 300 people companywide over the past three years and expects to keep hiring as program wins in defense and aerospace translate into production demand.
Marotta Controls recently received its fifth Exceptional Small Business Performance Award from Lockheed Martin.
