Reed, who last visited the Owego site about three years ago, remarked that manufacturers such as Lockheed Martin are vital to our communities and essential to the safety of all Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reed commented, \u201cCutting edge technology is right here in our backyard,\u201d adding, \u201cThey (Lockheed) are doing some amazing work for our defense capabilities with the next generation of helicopters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reed said he appreciated the honest input about the ways he and his team can continue to advocate for new technologies and also help develop the workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love coming out here to remind myself that we are part of the effort to see Lockheed Martin and what they do best,\u201d Reed concluded, adding, \u201cThe U.S. has the greatest competitive edge across the world, we have the greatest innovative thinkers and educational components, and it is inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamid Salim, general manager and vice president of Advanced Product Solutions commented, \u201cIt is inspiring to me to have Tom Reed here. Giving him the opportunity to come in to see the sites and connect with employees is critical for our business. We appreciate Congressman Reed\u2019s support for local manufacturing jobs and business opportunities for the Lockheed Martin Owego site.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salim, who grew up in South Carolina, was a previous Program Director at Sikorsky.  In his new role at Lockheed Martin, Salim shared about the Owego area, \u201cI\u2019ve been here 59 days and am so inspired by the folks in this community. It\u2019s a pleasant surprise and a friendly area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 105,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services.
