Our Vision

At MARCOM Services (MSL), our purpose is “Building lasting relationships through trust and excellence.”

Our purpose drives us both externally, with our customers and suppliers, and internally with our employees. We specialize in the high-quality preservation and repair of U.S. Navy Ships. Our purpose and our specialty form the Core Focus of MSL, guiding our mission and actions.

Our commitment to excellence is embodied in our core values. These principles are the foundation of our work ethic and company culture. Our core values are the pillars that support our mission and drive us to achieve our goals.

Our Core Values

  • Results, Not Excuses:
    Deliver positive outcomes and hold ourselves accountable to ensure tasks are executed successfully. We do not deflect blame, we address setbacks with action.
  • Turns Problems into Solutions:
    Approach challenges with a proactive mindset, transforming obstacles into opportunities for innovation and improvement.
  • Never Compromise Safety:
    Prioritize safety above all, implementing and enforcing protocols to protect our team, our partners, and our work environment
  • Exceed the Customer’s Expectations:
    Strive to be the only preservation company our customers want to work with.
  • Treat Everyone with Respect:
    Foster a culture of mutual respect, valuing the contributions and dignity of every person we work with.

Guided by our Core Focus and Values, MSL’s target customer base is Shipyards and businesses that hold maintenance contracts for the US Navy in Hampton Roads and on the West Coast. In our marketing strategy, we focus on three unique qualities that define our approach and distinguish us from the competition:

  1. Our culture attracts and retains top-tier leaders,
  2. We deliver the capacity for large scale projects while maintaining a small-company feel, offering direct access to decision-makers, and
  3. We prioritize customer satisfaction, ensuring that we exceed expectations.

MSL’s distinctive value proposition lies in our ability to consistently deliver all three qualities, setting us apart in the market.
