Valve Production Accelerates as Supplier Deepens its Footprint in the Spaceflight Industry

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier based in New Jersey, celebrated its 80th anniversary. President and CEO Patrick Marotta took the opportunity to recognize his team members’ talent, passion, and creativity that has contributed to decades of innovation in Flow Control, Control Systems, and Power Electronics.

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier based in New Jersey, confirmed today that it has completed its first custom fin Control Actuation Systems (CAS) production order. The achievement comes less than a year and half after the CAS program was first announced and affirms Marotta Control’s industry position as a trusted actuation system supplier. Notably, the company previously stated that its 2022 corporate expansion was partly driven by the growth of its CAS business and today adds that it expects that business to yield a 10 to 15 percent year-over-year revenue growth.

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier, announced it has upgraded its motor operated pilot valve (MOPV) used in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) systems on naval surface ships. The MOPV761 valve plays an integral part in the AFFF system. It controls both the seawater pressure used to activate the main AFFF supply valve and the electrical activation of the AFFF pump. The upgrades enable the valve to now offer a pressure rating of 250 PSI, meeting current Navy requirements across all fleet systems. The valve also now withstands higher shock and vibration impacts per the MIL-S-901D, MIL-STD-798 with Notice 1, and MIL-STD-167-1A specifications. The new valve is currently in production with volumes meeting increasing demand.

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier, announced it has been selected as a finalist for the ‘MADE in New Jersey’ Manufacturing Day 2022 Manufacturer of the Year Awards hosted by the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program (NJMEP). The awards recognize companies demonstrating industry leadership, innovation, growth, and commitment to the professional development of its employees and communities. Marotta Controls is one of three finalists in the Large Businesses category. Winners will be announced October 7.

Marotta Controls announces a strategic reorganization designed to strengthen product development and manufacturing processes, in turn improving the customer experience. The new structure remodels the company’s business units—Marine & Aerospace, Space, and Power & Actuation Systems—to function as fully supported verticals that manage a program’s complete lifecycle.

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier, announces the opening of a second facility located in Parsippany, New Jersey. The company will retain its Montville buildings, using the freed-up space to expand its production capacity, development labs and testing facilities.

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier, today announced that it has been named one of New Jersey’s top workplaces. Hosted by NJ Advance Media (NJ.com) in partnership with Energage, the statewide recognition program is based solely on employee survey responses and serves as a candid tool to assess corporate culture as well as the internal leadership impact and opportunity. Marotta Controls was one of 22 Aerospace and Defense companies evaluated nationwide, and ultimately ranked high in the mid-sized New Jersey companies category based on employee responses to the survey’s Culture Driver statements.

Today, Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier with a 65-year-plus heritage in spaceflight, announced that its latest direct acting solenoid valve is qualified for use in high pressure oxygen systems. Notably, the valve is also suitable for launch vehicle inert gas systems given its high flow capacity, smaller size, rapid response time, and overall cost-effectiveness. The manifold-mounted PLV405 can be configured with two or three ports and is proven to be reusable with a tested high lifecycle count.

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier with a 65-year-plus heritage in spaceflight, announces the availability of its new Dual Pressure Controller (DPC) with embedded software for more efficient valve command and control. The universal controller can be used by any rocket engine operating within Earth’s atmosphere or outer space and is configured to withstand hypersonic vehicle internal environments. Marotta initially designed and developed the DPC for Stratolaunch’s Talon-A vehicle, a Mach 6-class vehicle designed to make hypersonic testing more routine.

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier with a 65-year-plus heritage in spaceflight, today announced it now houses at its New Jersey facility a new cryogenic test stand capable of testing pressurized components used in spacecraft. The test apparatus is an open top or magnet dewar system that uses liquid helium to achieve temperatures lower than -450°F (-232°C) or near absolute zero to simulate the environmental flight conditions found in space. Marotta will use the test stand to evaluate its space-grade pneumatic valves up to 16 inches in diameter, delivering on its commitment to simplify and speed development and delivery of components to customers.

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier, announced the availability of its advanced Automatic Source Transfer Valve (ASTV) system designed to cool shipboard combat systems computing cabinets. The ASTV is a smart thermal management solution fully integrated with an electronic controller capable of communicating directly with shipboard mission control systems for simplified, remote utility management.

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier, announces the delivery of its 20,000th CoRe® valve to its customer Firefly Aerospace at the 36th Space Symposium this week. The milestone marks the rapid growth of Marotta’s CoRe Flow Controls series, a portfolio of 13 high performance solenoid valves designed for complex commercial launch vehicles.

Today, Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier with a 65-year-plus heritage in spaceflight, announced availability of a new cartridge solenoid valve engineered for small- to medium-lift rockets as well as small (cube) satellites. The PLV623 is a compact 3-way, 2-position direct acting solenoid valve constructed to control cold inert gases. Marotta’s space-grade valves are designed with minimal parts and common metals—giving customers access to valves offering the high levels of performance and reliability synonymous with the Marotta brand at a price competitive with lower-cost, disposable valves in this sector.

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier based in New Jersey, today announced the successful integration of additive manufacturing (AM) into its portfolio of services. The company validated the capability’s viability by using its now patented method to create internal features of an advanced manifold valve. The selective laser sintering (SLS) design technique generated nuanced radial passages in various geometries not possible to achieve via traditional machine boring methods. Given this, the new manifold valve delivered increased velocity pressure control.

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier based in New Jersey, announced today that its custom fin Control Actuation System (CAS) design project for Lockheed Martin has reached completion having achieved full component-level qualification to more than 20 military standards. The qualification process required Marotta to build more than 20 systems to satisfy all required tests, including multiple successful all-up to ground level tests. The CAS is now transitioning from development into high volume production and is positioned to support throughout the life of the program.
