Its work includes flight control systems for military aircraft, precision actuators for space exploration and medical devices described as life-saving. The company operates from 95 locations in 25 countries and employs 13,000 people.
Founded in 1951 by Bill Moog, Art Moog and Lou Geyer, the company began with $3,000 of capital in a dirt-floored airplane hangar. Roughly 74 years later it works across a set of technical domains spanning flight control systems, precision actuators, motion control engineering, medical device engineering, aerospace engineering, space exploration systems, and mechanical and control engineering.
Moog describes a culture built on persistence and creativity, holding that limitations can be overcome and that employees are trusted and empowered to pursue their own aspirations. The firm encourages finding new and better ways of doing things and frames its purpose as shaping how the world moves.
Internally, the emphasis is on a performance culture that rewards results while prioritising mutual respect and open communication. When challenges arise, the focus is on solutions rather than blame, and every employee is regarded as playing a vital role in the company's success.
