The current site of Lockheed Martin in Owego, NY., started out as IBM Federal Systems in 1956. Aerospace and military were the mainstays of this division Of IBM. They had a solid reputation as a "back their product up / No shady practices" contractor to the government. As IBM started to divest itself of..almost everything" in the 90's, the site was sold to Loral, Inc. There were concerns about the continued viability of this and other Federal Systems sites (Manassas, Va., Gaithersburg, Md.)..with some additional smaller sites elsewhere. Fortunately, Lockheed Martin..aware of the reputation of IBM FSD, stepped in to purchase and continue operations. The Owego facility has grown site-wise, with staffing increases as needed. Tioga County, a small, rural county in NY's southern tier, has Lockheed Martin as it's largest private employer.
