House of Batteries Earns Lockheed Martin Award

House of Batteries of Fountain Valley, California, the largest certified woman-owned battery company in the U.S., was the only custom battery assembler to be recognized by Lockheed Martin as an Outstanding Small Business Provider (OSBP) for 2006.

Each year, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control and Lockheed Martin Simulation Training and Support, both in Bethesda, Maryland, select small businesses that have consistently provided outstanding support and products. At a March 26 awards banquet in Orlando, Florida, executives from the two Lockheed Martin divisions presented awards to 15 companies, with House of Batteries the only battery supplier to receive the OSBP.

“Small business partners such as House of Batteries bring a unique skill set to our products and services,” said Dale Bennett, ST&S president. “We take pride in recognizing the significant role they play in our success.”

“We are very proud of this award,” said Maggie West, CEO of HOB. “It is testament to our intense focus on quality, engineering expertise and world class process control in every aspect of our battery assembly operations.”
