OVERVIEW

The Marvin Group is a vertically integrated, privately held small business headquartered in Southern California.

We are comprised of three business units: Marvin Engineering Co. (MEC), Marvin Test Solutions (MTS), and Marvin Land Systems (MLS).

MEC and MLS are co-located in Inglewood, California, with MTS based in Irvine, California. Both facilities are within minutes of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and John Wayne International Airport (SNA) respectively.

In March 2020, Marvin Engineering Co., along with its teammates at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics and the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), were recognized with a FY2019 Nunn-Perry Award for the team’s “superb performance” in the Department of Defense’s Mentor-Protege Program. This achievement was publicly announced in May 2020.

Our People and Culture

The Marvin Group understands that we are in the business of serving people, whether it’s supporting our warfighters when they go into harm’s way, or ensuring that our employees and their families have access to stable and rewarding career opportunities.

As a family-owned business, we are aware of the unique challenges that accompany this and we continue to look to develop the talent already within our business, as well as recruit promising new talent which will challenge the status quo and assist in the continued growth of The Marvin Group.

Fundamentally, we are driven by our core values of Integrity, Partnership, Can-Do Attitude, and Innovation and intent on delivering on the promise of our vision, honed over more than 6 decades:

The best people delivering confidence and security to warfighters all over the world. 

 

"The Marvin Group has always believed in people. From the beginning, our founders understood that finding the right people, and providing them a place where they could realize their full potential was critical to the overall success of the business. We've always been proud that we provide an environment where people's talents can be recognized and rewarded."

- Howard Gussman, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, The Marvin Group
