Lockheed Martin strengthens partnerships in Morocco to drive security and prosperity

High ranking company delegation visits Morocco

Senior executives from Lockheed Martin recently visited industrial facilities in Morocco to strengthen strategic partnerships and explore opportunities for expanding the company’s presence in the Kingdom.

Held in collaboration with the Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development (AMDIE), this visit follows Lockheed Martin’s participation in the recent Marrakesh International Airshow and underscores the company’s 50-year partnership with Morocco. It also highlights Lockheed Martin’s commitment to driving local economic development, creating new jobs and making significant investments in Morocco.

Tim Cahill, President, Lockheed Martin’s Missiles and Fire Control, and Joseph Rank, Chief Executive, Lockheed Martin in Africa and Saudi Arabia, led the visit’s delegation. The group toured aerospace and defense facilities in Tangiers, including Eaton-Souriau Tangiers, a long-standing partner that supports Lockheed Martin’s global supply chain across multiple platforms.

Shared commitment

“Lockheed Martin’s long history of collaboration with Morocco reflects our shared commitment to advancing defense capabilities, fostering local industrial growth and creating new economic opportunities,” stated Cahill.

In 2022, the company helped establish the Maintenance Aero Maroc (MAM) joint venture to provide Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services for Morocco, further solidifying its long-term commitment to the Kingdom’s defense capabilities.

Lockheed Martin is dedicated to its partnership with Morocco, continuing to provide cutting-edge defense technologies, drive local economic development, and create new job opportunities that support regional security, a press communique concluded.
