Marotta Controls Unveils New Power and Actuation Systems Center of Excellence in Parsippany

Marotta Controls has officially opened its new state-of-the-art facility in Parsippany, New Jersey, dedicated to its Power and Actuation Systems division. This move consolidates the company's engineering, development, manufacturing, assembly, and testing operations under one roof for the first time, marking a significant step in optimizing its operations and fostering innovation.

Consolidating Operations for Enhanced Efficiency

The new Parsippany facility, which has been in the works for several years, brings together the technical and operational teams that were previously split between Parsippany and the company's original headquarters in Montville. This consolidation aims to streamline workflows and reduce inefficiencies, as noted by Steve Fox, Senior Vice President of Power and Actuation Systems.

"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."

Expanding Capacity and Capabilities

The facility adds approximately 50,000 square feet of manufacturing space and 12,000 square feet of design and development lab space. It is also AS9100-certified, ensuring that it meets the stringent quality management standards required for aerospace and defense industries. The in-house vibration, thermal, and shock testing capabilities further enhance the facility's ability to deliver high-quality products efficiently.

A Strategic Investment in Growth

Power and Actuation Systems is Marotta's youngest and fastest-growing product line. The new facility is a strategic investment in the division's continued success, as stated by Patrick Marotta, President and CEO of Marotta Controls.

"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."

Future Outlook and Hiring Plans

Over the past three years, Marotta Controls has added around 300 people to its workforce. The company anticipates further hiring as it secures more program wins in the defense and aerospace sectors, translating into increased production demand.

Conclusion

The new Parsippany facility represents Marotta Controls' commitment to innovation, quality, and growth. By bringing together key operations and investing in cutting-edge infrastructure, the company is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of its clients and the industry.
