Corporate Partners
Perhaps one of the most intriguing stories to come out of the Manhattan Project was the delicate partnerships formed by the Military, the Scientific Community, and some of America's foremost Corporations.Often brought in "kicking and screaming", these companies took on some of the world's most complex and vast industrial projects, the likes the world had never seen.Although most were already heavily weighed down with highly critical war-time contracts, and although many thought what was being asked of them was, in the worst case "impossible" and in the best case a "recipe for failure", they all rose to the occasion and accomplished the "impossible" - the delivery of enriched uranium and plutonium of sufficient quantities to construct an atomic weapon. |
| Web Master's Note: Research on this section will take considerable time because there has not been much written about it in the past. Where possible, we have included "tidbits" of information relative to some of the following companies. Also, there were several more companies than those listed who also played an important role. We will be conducting research on those also. If anyone is aware of a company that participated in the Manhattan Project, please contact us by clicking on "feedback" above. |
