History

Marotta was founded in 1943 as The Marotta Engineering Company. Early manufacturing sub-contracts for prime contractors such as General Electric Corporation and RCA enabled Marotta to gain experience in what was to become a particular area of expertise – precision valves and machined components for the rocket and guided missile industry.[1]

Breaking the Sound Barrier

Marotta provided control valves on the rocket engine that powered Chuck Yeager’s Bell X-1 in the world's first supersonic flight, placing the company in the forefront of aerospace technology development.

Winning the Race to the Moon

Marotta valves played an important role in the earliest days of manned space flight. Large numbers of valves and regulators for flight and ground support applications were used in the Project Mercury, Project Gemini and Project Apollo programs, most notably in the propulsion systems of the Apollo Service Module and Lunar Module Ascent engines.

Serving On and Beneath the Sea

Marotta’s fluid control systems were soon performing many of the demanding fluid control tasks on board naval ships and submarines. Its pressure reducing manifolds control many of the air systems on board, from emergency gas turbine starting on surface combatants to the many critical pressurization functions on nuclear submarines.

Markets

Military/Defense

Fluid and Gas Control Products and Systems[2]

  • Hydraulic and Pneumatic Valves and Systems
    • Every U.S. Navy surface combatant and submarine goes to sea with Marotta valves and controls serving in mission critical systems.
  • Manifolds and Smart Valves
    • Providing high-pressure air reducing manifolds, regulators and fuel control valves.
    • Marotta is now combining these with digital controllers to offer Intelligent Fluid Control allowing the valves to act autonomously or execute commands from a remote host.
  • Military Aircraft and Weapons Systems
    • Marotta fluid control systems and components are also serving on domestic and international military aircraft, helicopters, and UAVs.
    • Products and services include complete subsystem design and integration, from pneumatic firing valves and electronic controllers to accumulators, compressors and receiver assemblies.
  • High-Pressure Pneumatic Systems
    • Marotta designs and manufactures high-pressure pneumatic systems for pneumatic weapon ejection and IR missile seeker cooling.
  • Next-Generation Platforms
    • Next-Generation products and systems are featured on many advanced programs such as the F-35 Lightning II, F-22 Raptor, P-8A Poseidon, Small Diameter Bomb and various UAVs, as well as the Virginia Class Submarine, DDG-1000 Destroyer, LHA(R) Amphibious Craft , DDG-51, and CVN-78 Carrier.

  • Sixty Years of Fluid Control
    • 60 years of experience in hydraulic, pneumatic and fuel control.
  • Partnering
    • Developed and provided systems and components in conjunction with many industry partners. Current applications include aircraft such as the Cessna Citation Sovereign and Gulfstream G500 series.
  • Inflation Valves
    • First installed on the Boeing 707 in the early 1960s, Marotta’s inflation valves have since been used on many aircraft and helicopters for emergency evacuation and flotation.
  • Manifold Systems
    • Nearly 50 years of experience in the development of manifold systems.
    • Provided solutions to the general aviation community by packaging several functions in a single unit, including fuel isolation valves, return and hydraulic directional control valves.
