Internationally Recognized
Marinette Marine Corporation was founded
in 1942 along the Menominee River in Marinette, Wisconsin
to meet America's growing demand for naval construction.
From humble beginnings with a contract to build five wooden
barges, MMC has grown into a world-class shipbuilder, having
designed and built more than 1,500 vessels.
Ongoing capital expenditure improvements will
add to the shipyard's already expansive facilities, giving
MMC 550,000 square feet of manufacturing, warehouse and receiving
space.
MMC employs cutting-edge computer-controlled manufacturing
equipment and has heavy-lift capabilities to meet the most
demanding requirement.
MMC boasts some of the best engineering
and naval architecture minds in the industry. They’re
backed by a skilled, safe and motivated workforce, and a
management team keenly focused on quality. The company is
internationally recognized for innovative and highly efficient,
modular, subassembly and assembly-line manufacturing techniques.
This sophistication in construction methods has allowed Marinette
to build some of the most technologically advanced vessels
on the planet.
Marinette Marine’s performance on government
contracts is impressive. Its portfolio includes the U.S. Navy’s
Littoral Combat Ship, the improved Navy Lighterage System,
mine countermeasure vessels and ocean tugs, as well as U.S.
Coast Guard icebreakers, buoy tenders and response vessels.
Because of its record of delivering ahead of schedule and within
contracted costs, MMC has a long-standing relationship with
the United States Navy.
Marinette Marine Corporation is part
of the Fincantieri Marine Group, a subsidiary of Fincantieri,
one of Europe’s largest
shipbuilders with a history dating back 200 years and a track
record of producing more than 7,000 ships. |
